I have the 3.5 inch lift with the hoops that required the body lift. The front rides better than the 35 y.o stock springs and factory single shock mount, but that is nt saying much. The front does not flex like i hoped, but I still have the stock radius arms. I am hoping that a wristed or extended arms can solve that. I have the 11 pack springs in the back, and even with the hard top, they make the back sit higher than the front. But they ( the back) flex awesome, and I believe they ll flex even more when i get some longer e brakle lines. On the street the ride is "bumpy", but not any worse than before. I have had no problems with Duff s service and have bought alot from them.

I have Duff's 2.5" lift progressive-rate coils up front with the Stroppe design dual shock mounts. They were simple to install and work great. Then I installed the urethane "C" buchings with the 6 deg. caster correction. Oh what a difference that made in the ease of steering on the highway! I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I put urethane Radius Arm bushings on at the same time as the c-bushings, they should outlast the stock rubber ones by a long shot. I have no complaints with anything I installed from Duff. But then If I was going to lift it higher than 2.5", I would do some things differently.

I have the 3.5" lift w/front hoops and 11 leaf rear. It rides pretty stiff and the back end does stick up higher than the front like red said. When I put my lift on, it did require extended E-brake cables and brake lines. I also had to get the driveshafts extended.

Anyone have Duff's extended radius arms? I'm wondering how they work compared to a wristed arm setup.

I have a friend running them and he loves them. No unpinning/pinning on the road. they're a great compromise for those that want highway stability and off road flex.

I have their 3 1/2 coils in front and I am very happy with them.... But before replacing them I had a set of old Rancho coils (very stiff)

Most the people I know that have them went fromm the wristed to the duff arm and they said they would never go back :)
