So as many of you probably know, Skyjacker has said they are sponsoring my truck with a 4" suspension lift. Originally we were looking into the possibility of a 6", but it isn't ready yet, and it could be another 6 + months. I've been waiting aproximately 2 months since I sent in the sponsorship app to Skyjacker and they told me they were interested. I call twice a week or so, and check on the status... Still on hold. So I'm wondering if I should contact Superlift. From everything I've heard, Skyjacker is the superior lift company, but if you had the choice, would you pick a Superlift 5.5" or a Skyjacker 4" (+ my 3" bl).
Thanks

I would go with Superlift only because your getting more height. 4" inches isn't very much. What size tire are you hoping to fit?

4 inches is plenty for what I want, I've got 33s and trimmed fenders, and I know it will fit 35s with the additional 4 inches. I'm more wondering about the lift itself, is Skyjacker or Superlift a more quality lift?
thanks

Skyjacker. I have Superlift and have had to replace just about everything. Superlft sent the parts for free but I still had to pay for the install. Do you have a body lift? My 32's rub a little as is (with sways disconnected)

I have superlift and I'd say go with skyjacker. I agree, I've replaced most superlift parts once.

I previously voted for the 5.5" not realizing you already had a body lift. So I change my vote to Skyjacker.

if the lift is free go bigger.... but the skyjacker is probably a more quality unit than the stupidlift...... would you rather use it super rough or mild? what size tires?

no problems with superlift here. running the kit for a few years now and put a beatn' on it. i do use skyjacker shocks though, and those are very good quality, I might go as far to say they're about as good as the Ranchos I had on my Toyotas. Either way, a free lift is a free lift

saw it out there, figured I'd throw my $.02 :D what can i say, i think superlift makes decent stuff, not the best by any means, but i didn't see anyone who had chimed in with anything good to say, so what the hell. Better late than never!

Hay this is great cuz I just joined and looking at lifts... ok so Super Lifts is totally out... (I hate them now lol jk) but I am intreagued by Camburg... I was thinking either a 4" or a 5.5" but they have a 5" with Bilstien and Eibalch Shocks/Springs.... Sounds good to me... it was recomended from here... i'll think about it a little while and see what else I can dig up.:p:

I know I have IFS but i have a 4" superlift and have cracked the front cross member and the cross member drop bracket. I wheel it but nothing that should have cracked that steel. I have welded the cracks but my camber is way off from it.

I have Superlift and have had to replace just about everything. Superlft sent the parts for free but I still had to pay for the install.
Is superlifts warrenty pretty good? would they replace my cracked parts?

To answer your question go with skyjacker!
