Well, the first uses spacers for the front and the second uses lift coils. The second is a little better in my opinion, but it doesn't make a HUGE difference. Yeah you'll be able to fit 32's with either of those lifts, but that thing on the auction about being able to fit 33's with that lift is BS. Later.

Hey, i have an AWD and im thinking about getting the 4" superlift, but use Rancho 9000's...the truck is my only vehicle, and iw ant to run 33's...what will i have to do to keep the truck dependable, and so it will last just as long as stock?...how hard is it to install this lift on a 4 door?...any other info would be great, thanks

If you plan to keep it as a DD then it is a good choice. After talking with some peeps, I should have spent all my cash on a SAS. Problem was I did not have a DD...

Mine actually rides better than stock, but I didnt install it myself. 4WP did it along with the gears and lockers.

What kind of gears would i have to run?

Thats the point i was making. If you want a serious off-roader then do a SAS rather than spending the money for the superlift kit... or go the route i did which is less expensive and still very off-roadable.

Karol has an awesome explorer and i took on everything she did at Rausch creek... there was one spot that you can actually see in the videos posted that i made it through very quickly and she got hung up... she has he 4" superlift, 34's, and lockers... i have 33's and LS..... know what i mean?

Just trying to give my best advice here- not shoot down anyone who has the superlift

I remember that spot. Hopefully we can test out Karol's rock sliders more.. I know after this most recent adventure, I think I need a pair & a front skid plate to cover the front diffy.

yea... i deffinetally wanna build a front skid plate. Some were too close for comfort.
