Looking into suspension parts. Anyone like skyjacker?
I found this lift with shocks to replace the lift blocks and the solid front springs. Does this seem good?

It states factory block is removed though. They are only 2" leaf lifts. With a small lift block

Unless someone else knows of a 3" lift kit block less. I figured I would leave the factory block in and not use the small block.

do yourself a favor and check out bds suspension. the warranty is no bs lifetime. no other company offers the same loyalty to its customers. if you cant tell, im a big fan and happy owner of bds products.

That's a nice kit but way too much money for just 3". I pieced together my lift with all Skyjacker parts by searching part numbers for their basic kit. Total was about 500. The CAs and springs are great. Rear AAL helped a lot towing the last 5 years. Shocks are still good, too. For a grand, I would hope to be sitting at least on 5" with long arms.

Ok. Looked around. For piece by piece I can find it for 800 with shocks included. Lifted leafs call for factory block removal as well but also supposedly comes with new bump stops

Skyjacker is not a bad lift kit though there are better options like BDS.

The problem is bds is block lift for 600. I don't have original springs. 200 more and I have new springs, leafs, and components.

The rough country one looks good. How well do the shocks hold up? I may do that and swap out blocks for lifted leafs from skyjacker.
