Default 4 in or 6 in lift kit

i was searching on ebay and saw this 4 inch lift kit and 6 inch lift kit. I have never heard of this company before. I was wondering has anybody installed this kit. Is there really any benefits to the 4 inch kit?

I'd be leary of any ebay kits. An IFS truck is not easy to lift, you have to pay very close attention to the angle of the CV half shafts. Cheaper kits tend to put these at more extreme angles.

The advantage of a 4" kit is that it will generally (if well designed) be less severe on front end components. Personally I run a 4" kit because IMO it's the perfect height for 35" tires and I, for one, am a firm believer that 35" is the maximum you should put on an IFS truck. I tend to look for a kit that keeps the CV angle at stock or close to stock specs and I like a kit with a full boxed sub-frame as opposed to just one or two simple crossmembers also a kit that replaces a lot of front end components such as tie rods and ends, etc with bigger beefier components means a lot to me.
Although my particular 4" kit costs more than most 6" kits, it still goes back to "you get what you pay for". Now does this mean that ebay kit is a POS? No, but I'd rather not take the chance...

Here is their website.

People speak highly of their body lifts. Don't know much about their lift kits.

i'm interested in the 4 inch lift kit. I also saw superlift makes a 4 inch kit. Is superlift kits good? Also, do i have to replaced the front shocks with aftermarket shocks when I add a 4 inch lift.
