How much are there kits running?

Been running a Superlift for 10 months now.....no complaints. Rides better than the Skyjacker 4.5" I had in my last truck and no driveline vibration. I would either get the Bilstein shocks or some others (King or the like) next time though, I just got their standard shocks and I just don't like hydraulics on the rear.

I am running a tough country 6". No problems yet but I put on the 6" front springs too and the front rubbed just a bit. With the extended fenders it would have ripped them off so I did some trimming. I think the springs have settled a bit too. (12000 miles). The guy that installed the kit said it was one of the better kits to install but the setup for the front sway bar setup was pretty iffy. He said fabtech had the best setup for the sway bar. The dual steering stabalizers were a nice addition as well as the dual front shocks. The truck rides awesome. I had a fab a drop bracket for the carrier bearing on the rear drive shaft (2 peice) but i didn't have to do any other mods. I now have some mud flaps installled. They haven't rubbed either.

Did you have to do any cutting of factory parts or any welding for long arm kit?Kit price?
Thanks Ray very nice

I can't answer that for sure as I am auto and quad cab but I have no driveline vibration. I think that all the mega cabs I have seen use a carrier bearing spacer on the rear shaft though.

unless superlift has changed their system.....the springs sag!!!!! lots out here that do....not a whole lot...but they do.

i've heard nothing but good stuff about the tuff country kits and they have me favoring them...cost is pretty fair too!
