that picture does not match description I think. would be better to wait to have more money tho. skyjacker does do goo stuff tho.

I think thats a good idea I've been wanting to go with the rough country 6" lift. Any suggestions?

I think that is just a few pieces of the whole kit. The cheapest 4-6" lift is the rough country @ $1k

It might me a little more than that if ur truck is push button 4wd. and $40 extra for longer rear sway bar links.

rough country or skyjacker are both excellent makers.

Yeah mine has the push button 4x4. I currently have torsion keys with a 2" block running 325/60r18 any suggestions on getting a few more inches?

I have no idea about whatever that lift is. The price tells me keys and blocks, the picture (when enlarged) looks like a lift for something with a solid front axle and coil springs. But rtegardless the price is not right for 4.5" of front lift

could take a skyjacker 6 " and turn it down to 4" i believe.

A quick Google search pulled up the following info regarding the link given in the original post:

"SKYJACKER COMPONENT BOX FOR 4.5-6 in. SUSPENSION LIFT SYSTEMS -- Consists of an idler arm spacer kit, front brake lines, a differential skid plate, a U-bolt kit, rear blocks, and mounting hardware; This helps provide 4.5-6 in. lift when used with Skyjacker Suspension Kit part numbers S97C46 and S97C466;"

In other words, the kit listed in the link for $281.39 is an additional hardware box to be purchased in conjunction with Skyjacker's 4.5 - 6" lift kit. This is not a lift kit by itself, but rather extra optional parts to make a complete kit with.

The enlarged image in the original link is not of this kit; it's a wrong image. Looks like a Jeep suspension with a 4 coil system to me.

I knew it was to good to be true. I had ben researching on a 6.5 dick cepek only to find out they are no longer made. So much for that

That's one thing I do prefer about my Jeep Wrangler: lift kits are cheap! I paid under $400 for a complete 3.25" suspension lift that included 4 new coil springs, 4 new shocks, sway bar links, track bar brackets, etc. I ended up with more axle articulation, better suspension flex, and more room for larger tires.

A good kit for my Tahoe is at least $1000, and I won't end up with better suspension flex or axle articulation at all, due to the stupid IFS. I'll just end up with a stock suspension that happens to push the frame farther in the air making room for larger tires! So I have to pay more for less!

That about sums it up.

As for fiding a lift, keep an eye on Graigslist and the for sale section on GMT400, fullsize chevy and so on. They do pop up sometimes.
