OK I am looking for a decent yet not large suspension lift. Currently I have a 3 inch body and warriors/spacers. I really like the way the stage 2 duff lift looks but havce heard verry little experience with it. Please tell me what you think. EVEN better if you have it or have installed one. I am not overly concerned with having to alter some minor stuff but for the cost I dont think I should need to do anything major. I would like to order a lift in the next week or so. IF not the duff kit then please by all means make other recomendations. I will be putting new custom leafs on with it.

Okay they reason no one responded I believe is because there were 3-4 James Duff lift posts, pretty much the exact same questions you asked posted like last week
There is one about fitment problems encoutered with a Duff lift, and another saying how much they liked the kit.
You can search for those.
I think the Duff kit is a good entry level kit.
I also think some of their ccomponetnts work really well for a real long travel TTB setup. They have the strongest drop brackets on the market, but part of the reason for that is because they only make a 2" drop bracket.
Then they have some new heim jointed radius arms which look to be a huge improvement over their classic TTB radius arms.
What kit to buy = what do you want to use the truck for (function of the lift) for a much improved ride over stock and a great 2-4" higher suspension the Duff kit works well.
The only problem with an entry level kit is once you have it, you will want more :)
its like a boat, you alwaysthink "ah this boat is perfect, I'll never need anything larger" then after you use it for a while you want a bigger boat...
I started with the Duff kit and I used the hell out of it. Never had one problem. I thought their shocks were way too stiff for my taste and they also seemd a little short, meaning the shocks limited hte suspension travel and thats not the ideal way to limit travel. I ended up pulling a shock in half on the trail (bottom fell out) and then bought someproperly measured Rancho's (much better). :)

Thanks, I did see the post about the fitment issues but it seemed vague at best. I hadnt noticed the others but will search. The Duff kit is mearly to hold me over for a while. Once I get time I will be going solid axle.

I have the duff lift and have no problems, I bought it used and had no problems installing it. I have rancho extended radius arms, and the duff shocks limit the amount of upward wheel travel with this setup(I recently bent the lower shock mounts) I will be getting the new heim joint radius arms from duff later after I do a few other things.
