Default Any reviews on Skyjacker lifts?

Hey everyone, Im possibly looking into a skyjacker 3 inch lift with the add a leafs and was wondering if anyone had this or any input on it. I just want it so i can run 35s and it was only like $530 and i didn't want to spend the $1300 on a 4 inch lift. Any help is appreciated so thanks in advance.

Here is a link to what i am referring to:

Also I wanted to know if this kit would include everything needed or if this is one of those where you'd have to buy a lot of extra things

Looks to me like an expensive leveling kit. You could spend 150$ on a 3in level with lift blocks in the back. But I would go with 2.5" not as hard on the truck

I have that kit and down the road am regretting it. I should have saved up and got the 4" which I will be doing soon. It did serve it's purpose for the last 5 years allowing me to get the look I wanted but now I just did a whole front end job on my truck and because of this lift I can't get my alignment correct. Save yourself the headache and buy a real crossmember drop lift or a small leveling kit.

And you definitely won't fit 35s if you get wheels with any kind of offset. My 33s rub with this kit on a 9" wide -12mm offset wheel.

I gotta weigh in here..... There is a lift for our trucks that works..... It's 3" but adjustable from 1 to 3 inches, I have 35s , my wheels are 20x9 with a 1mm offset, also known as -12..... My tires are 35x12.5x20 , I have no problems.
The reason for this is I did it right!
My lift/level is by f150lifts.com and is made with bilstein and eibach parts.
1000 times better than most the crap out there but doesn't ruin your truck like a 4 or 6 inch lift.
Leave it alone or do it right!
