So, I am looking to go from a 4" lift which my 78 F150 came with from the previous owner, to a 6" lift. I have been looking at front springs and since Rancho and Tuff Country, my preferences, don't seem to offer a 6" spring, I've looked at Superlift, Trail Master, and Skyjacker.

So here is what I find with front 6" springs:

Skyjacker: $204
Superlift: $180
Trail Master: $357

$357 for a set of springs from Trail Mater? Are they smoking crack? Can somebody tell me why Trail Master springs are double the price of Superlift? ARe they gold plated? What am I missing here? Anybody go with any of these springs? I have heard also that the rear springs from Skyjacker are very stiff. I have Tuff Country springs on my Blazer and they ride very well. Any body have any recommendations for rear springs too?

 

Rocky Mountain Suspension (NC) pieced together a 4-inch kit for me since assorted parts in the kits were back-ordered from various companies. I selected 4-inch Rough Country springs and am very happy with them. The hammered grey/black finish is pretty cool too.

As far as the Trail Master springs costing double, well I figure that it is a volume vs demand & cost relationship. Trail Master doesn't seem to be very popular and maybe they need to charge more to make up for low volume.
