i got my 4wheelpart magazine in today, it didnt have the skyjacker levling kits in it but it did have the superlift levelers. the leveling kit for the 4x2 was a little bit more than the 4x4 kit. has anybody used the superlift 4x2 kit and did it work?

I have a 4" lift from them, decent, but not as good as skyjacker. 4wheelparts has a thread going on this site about how bad they are, so i'd stay away from them. Try desertrat.com, you might have to call though.


Primary rig is:
95' F-150 EB 300/6 5 spd with 4" Superlift, MSD, Ram Air, Gibson Exhaust, 32" BFG Muds
NEW PICS IN MY GALLERY!! :-)


Then theres:
88' F-250 Superduty 351 + c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 and a
3 spd column shifter baby. Top speed, 65mph, Go Baby Go!

I had really, really, really good service from jackit.com.
They are probalby not the cheapest, but they are real close on price. I would gladly do anything to stay away from 4 wheel parts and give my business to a smaller shop. I also have ordered from National Tire and Wheel online with good results, and Jeff's Bronco Graveyard with very good results as well.

are you positive on this, because the 2 wheel drive springs were more expensive

Wait, now i'm confused. Front coil springs are exactly the same on 4x4 vs 4x2, the extra height is from the TTB(100% sure on that). The REAR springs are different however. A 4x4 is a little wider than a 4x2. Simple to fix though, all you have to do is change the spring perches and reinstall the new one with grade 8 bolts.

okay let me get this straight, i have a 2 wheel drive so my back springs arent as big making it lower in the back then the 4 wheel drive backs. if the extra clearance in the front of the 4 wheel drive is caused by the ttb but are the same sized springs of a 2 wheel drive, (and then you got that the 2 wheel drive spring cups are bigger), that means the thicker leaf springs in the back are there to help compensate for the front height of the 4 wheel drive. that means if the "leveling" springs are the same length for both 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive it will in fact level the 2 wheel drive out because it doesnt have the ttb advantage and that the back isnt as high as the back of the 4 wheel drives. and the reason they sent me back add a leafs is because the leveling kit is the same for both trucks and the 4 wheel drives might need them to level it out more, or i could use them and make my truck look like a stock 4x4 ford with the stock lift
