Lift Kit Comparison

Anyone care to give a brief [or not so brief] synopsis comparing 6” lift kits from different manufacturers? I’ve heard a lot about Icon but nothing concrete as to why they’re better. Rough Country seems to be the cheapest but are they a lesser choice?
Personally, I have an ’05 F250 so that’s what I’m interested in.

Later…

Rough country, superlift, skyjacker in the past have been about the same. That said, thats what everybody I know runs. Of course these are older kits on older trucks. I don't know much about what they're putting out now. The skyjacker kits have better fitment than superlift in terms of brackets and what not. Superlift rides softer. If you want flexy rockcrawling springs, prolly none of the above. If you want a tall truck any one will suit you, my preference being skyjacker.

Jeffs bronco Graveyard could be a place to look. Never dealt with modern truck lifts from them but a friend of mine lifted his 79 bronco through them

I got my lift from Rough Country a few years ago, and it's holding up fine as new
