I have a 93 FORD F-150 4x4 and i want to put a 4" suspension lift on it, but I'm unsure what brand is the best. I have heard that procomp is the preffered lift and I have also heard that rancho lifts sag. Can anyone give me some advyce on this subject.

I have been working with Skyjacker for some time now and have installed over 100 lift kits in one way shape or form (being a contributing editor affords me this ability) i think you will be extremely pleased with the Softride suspension available from Skyjacker. their website is www.skyjacker.com and they have an on-line catalog that you can browse. while you are there take a peek at the Ford Ranger we built for last years SEMA show. I have personally put several thousand miles of hard pre-running use on this system and have had no failures.

I have a 6in superlift kit on my 95 F150 4x4 and the coils have to be replaced about once a year because they sag to a point that you can't align your truck any more. So what ever you do don't go with a superlift kit , procomp is your best bet.

Drove my brand new '91 F-150 home in August '90 and bolted on their 4-inch lift kit with camber-adjustable extended-length radius arms, and drove the truck to the alignment shop the next morning. Coils settled during the following year to 3-1/2 inches, and are there to this day, 170,000 miles later. A big plus is that their stuff is black, which matches the rest of the frame.

I have heard negatives from just about every brand of suspension lift manufacturers except Cepek. There are a lot of Bronco owners with Cepek lifts and all of them love the quality of the components and I have not heard one negative comment about them. The extended radius arms offered by Cepek are the best in the industry and all their brackets are extra beefy.

I love my 4" Pro Comp lift, but I don't have many miles on it yet. Plus, It looks a hell of a lot better than those Yellow Superlifts(unless you're into that sort of thing). Good Luck!

If you use and abuse any lift kit for the reason they were intended for, you are bound to wear out and break a lot of parts no matter what kind you have. The ball joints will always suffer the most because big lift=big tires=big wear on parts. On my 78 I had a local shop make me some custom springs for the rear for four inches of lift and I have rancho springs and drop brackets for the radius arms in the front. I have no problem with those, just breaking driveshafts wearing out track arm bushings. Although solid axle kits are more simple than independent kits.
