Lift kits......
Im looking at lifting the truck but not sure what brand to go with. I like rough country's prices but have read on here about ride suffers. Skyjacker is good stuff but kinda pricey. Any thoughts or experiences?
Looking for 4 in by the way. Anyone have pics of 4 in with 33's. i just bought tires and dont wanna waste 1000.

I am running the skyjacker 4" w/ 33's. Do you have a 250 or 350? I can maybe seee going cheaper on the 350 lift with the solid axel, but there is no way in hell I would run their cheap drop brackets on the IFS 250. Search this forum for drop brackets and you will see a couple of guys who broke one and their inability to use the bathroom for the next week.
Sorry but like epd444 siad you get what you pay for.

Been a long time since I posted...My .02...Stay away from Rough Country for this application. I have had one of their drop brackets shatter at 50 mph (the post is in here somewhere) and then with the next set one cracked when I was backing down a hill and hit the brakes (I called them and they said I was supposed to check the torque every morning before driving or something that made me feel set-up to die). I am in the process of installing a super lift 4" with the super runner steering set-up. I really like the pics you guys posted. Any thoughts of doing the steering kit?

Next for me is a set of front and rear sway bars. Now the truck sits higher it moves more than I like when i have weight on the ladder rack
