Front Coils

What experiences has everyone had w/ the different suspension product manufacturers? I'm looking for coils to use w/ my SAS, in the neighborhood of 6-8"...i would prefer a somewhat stiff coil and something thats not going to sag in a month. If anyone has some for sale i'll definately consider it. Thx.

not that you care what i say, people on this site seem to like skyjacker the best. after the lift is on it is easier to align than with other brands. the coils are made to compensate for the sag, so the front of the truck might be a little higher than the back until everything settles out. superlift is a ok lift, but the problems come with the alignment issues and their shocks suck. ive heard good things about bds suspension but skyjacker seems to blow everything out of the water.

I put a 4" superlift in my old truck, I liked the ride it rode well, shocks are WAY to soft, but the alignment was a problem. I know someone who put a 4" skyjacker on their truck and the alignment was still in spec. Skyjacker makes a great kit, good shocks. BDS is also decent from what I hear. Superlift is okay. All are around the same price.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.


Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Superduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Top speed is 65mph, Go Baby Go!
