NTW Online 4" lift questions.

First off does anyone have any experience using the NTW Online suspension special lift kits? I'm really considering the 4" kit for my 2000 F-250. I know everyone will say I need to get a name brand and I would agree with that 99% of the time but I am 19 so money is an issue, the truck does not get used off road, just mudding and working on the farm, no trails, and again money is the issue. I am planning on getting a drop pitman arm but I was wondering if it was completely necessary. Also if I go 4 inches do I need extended brake lines? I really hope I can do this and I was wondering what your opinions and recommendations were. Thanks a lot.

4" lift def requires a pitman arm replacement and track bar relocation bracket..

you will have to "stretch" the metal front brakes line abit to get full sag on the suspension and not tear the brake lines..

its pretty easy to just move the metal lines abit lower then stock, no need to disconnect/bleed em either..

ps got a link to this kit ???

i'll have a looksee and see if theres something worth mentioning about it..

have you looked into a Procomp kit ???

thats what my truck has and its better all around kit compared to that linked one..

first off it has the pitman arm (which is required), it also uses longer stabilizer links instead of a bracket to move the originals..

lastly it it uses add-a-leafs in teh rear instead of stacking blocks, which i've never been a fan of.

I'd love to run a pro comp, skyjacker, superlift, rancho or another name brand money is the issue. I can't afford a $930 pro comp lift kit. That's why the suspension special caught my eye.

Why don`t you just get a set of Icon 4.5" hangers and shackles and keep stock springs , you`ll have a nice ride. Also you`ll most likely need some new shocks. Also with the Icon hangers and shackles you cand add any and all the other Ion stuff to go from 4.5" of all the way up to 12.5" of lift as you get the growing bug and more $. just my 2 cents!! http://www.iconvehicledynamics.com/s...004-Super-Duty
