I want to get a 4 or 6 inch suspension lift. I was looking at pro comp lift and fabtech, any suggestions?

Thanks

just incase you don't know that'll put your suspension at bad angles and ruin your ball joints CV axles etc.. so if you want those to last awhile i'd leave it alone or do a small body lift if you want a lift.

Correct me if I'm wrong but how does having dropped knuckles and a dropped center section make for bad angles on cvs and bj? They are within factory spec. Now having an increased load because of larger tires wearing those out yes I see that.

the cvs were meant to be almost straight and the ball joints have less moving room in the boot so they would be more likely to break. just taking a guess but i've heard that suspension lifts will wear the front end out faster.

you are completly right, i put a 2in suspension in and 5-6months later cv joints broke, i just want a higher truck lifting a truck is a drug i swear never good enough

2wd, or 4x4?

It really depends on if you want to go cheap and pretty much build your own lift, or buy a "set it and forget it" type deal. It seems like people like the Zone 6" the best here. I bought a Rough Country 5" lift and if you do go this route, do not put on their U-bolts, get real U-bolts. Also buy a solid block instead of lifting the rear on stacked blocks. Other than that I have no complaints with my lift.

As far as your CV's go, if you are a 4x4 these kits come with a torsion bar drop bracket to keep those at a stock angle. I can have my CV's straight if I want, but I cranked my T-bars up a little bit and got F-250 leaf springs with an AAL so I pretty much have a 6" lift.

It's 4x4 and if I do it I want to do it right and cut no corners I want the best lift. I'll look at the zone 6 thanks

Yeah, I put the Rough Country 5", and like I said, my only complaint it about the U-bolts and stacked blocks. The real way to do a lift is to get lift springs instead of blocks, but I haven't seen a kit that has that that's not really expensive lol. If I where to do it again, I'd get the Rough Country 5" again, and get lift springs.
