most here will probably tell you skyjacker but I just put a superlift on my 99 and I'm quite happy with it. It sits higher than I thought it would and all the brackets fit nicely and are plenty beefy.

I've had both superlift and skyjacker. Skyjacker is a much better kit. They gave me beefier brackets, poly bushings, and a few extra parts the superlift kit didn't have.

im not sure about any other vehicles.....however, on the superduty lifts- i would have to say that superlift has the superior lift system. Their new springs are supposed to be a much better ride than that of skyjacker. I was looking into a lift and when talking to fourwheel parts i told them i wanted a skyjacker- their response was why? The explained little things that made superlift on top, such as rubber bushings that wont let that dirt in and squek..how annoying. Anyways i have a 8" superlift on order and will post how i REALLY feel..lol

Yeah,

My Superlift came with new rubber bushings. Poly bushings are the hot thing to some people but they start to squeak sometimes which drives me nuts.

Ever accur to you that 4 wheel parts could be a little biased? Maybe they make more money off a superlift kit then a skyjacker lift kit. The superlift springs do look pretty good for those super duties, can't say that i've seen the skyjacker ones.

did it ever accur to you that maybe superlift could infact make a better lift system for the money than skyjacker does? If their systems wern't any good, i seriously doubt that a company like that would have stayed in business as long as it has. Don't knock it till youve tried it

Um, did you miss what I said?

There are a lot of crappy lift companies still lurking around. Oh, and don't buy superlift shocks, they are complete junk. I took mine off in 3 weeks. Keep in mind he is driving around a 95 F-250, not a 99 which superlift has those nice springs for. I'm not sure if they have them for a 95.

I'm going to have to take a vote on Skyjacker here too. My skyjacker softride leaves ride great...and they have rubber bushings in them. Skyjacker does seem to have a much better reputation. I've installed a few of both, and i'd have to say that skyjackers kits are much more consistent in quality from what i've seen. Of the three superlifts that i've installed two of them were missing parts. Maybe a poll is in order here.....

i'll have to agree with you on that point, the shocks. My dad bought a set and never installed them on because his old warn out ones were firmer than those. Oh well what can you expect from a thirty dollar shock

I bought rancho shocks for 30 dollars and they were a lot better. Skyjacker's shocks are even cheaper.

You might think they were free but they really weren't. The price of the shocks was included in the price of whatever you bought.

did you have to extend your driveshaft or was the carrier bearring drop bracket enough?
