Best 2wd lift kit???
 
Which company makes the best 6" lift kit? Preferably with coilovers, because i'm going to put a 2" spacer on it and put a bigger rear block in.

This is what I'll be getting when I get the cash for it. This, along with my Rancho 3" Susp. lift will give me 10" suspension lift, comparable to 8" on a 4WD. Its not coilover, but, its a pretty good kit. I also have a 3" body lift so I'd have a total of 13", or 11" compared to 4wd.

The Rancho 3" is the RS9000xl Quick Lift Shock in the front, and the RS9000xl Shock w/ Add-A-Leaf (AAL). That kit uses spacers, so if you put this kit on top of your stock suspension, you only get 7". If you put this kit on top of the Rancho, or say a similar Leveling Kit (HBS) or the Bilstein Level Struts, you'll kit 9-10" which equates to 7-8" of Susp. lift on a 4wd. To gain more height, you'll have to get a body lift. I have the Performance Accessories 3" BL Kit and love it. But I also want to go 22's w/ 37's so I'll need that much height in the end.

I had no clue the quicklift when up to 3" i thought it was 2.5". Do the AALs affect the ride, is it completely level after the quicklift and aal? and much much was the quick lift, rear shocks and aal?

What kind of offroading will you be doing? Are you looking for looks or performance? What size tires are you looking to use?

There's no "best kit" for all applications.

FSU FX4 02-23-2010 11:12 PM

not much off roading, looking for more looks than performance

Vano, how do you like the ride with the rancho lift?
