That's the lift I'm interested in, but not sure if it's worth the extra shipping cost since I live on the West coast. Whatever I get, I plan on installing it myself. I know that there is welding involved and I enjoy doing that kind of stuff. I just dont know anyone that has that system to see if it's worth it. How does he like the Duff lift w/ the rear 4-link? Is there a lot of body roll on the road? Did he install it himself? How long did it take him? How does it compare to other brands of lifts(of Broncos that he may know of) as far as articulation and ride? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks

the ride seems good. 1st off he had the worst home made stiff suspension before this swap...so after this duff stuff was done, he complained bout body roll,too soft,etc. now he loves it. we still may fab up a rear anti-sway bar(later down the road)

we both installed this in my shop...it was not your average rear lift, took time,patients, and chit load of grinding,cleaning,welding!!!

heres the complete build

We have a 5.5" with 2 body. Running 37" Parnelli Jones tires. The front rub slightly at full wheel crank. I think it sits well on the tire.

"Hammer" ... I like your truck. Sick looking! Is that a custom roll cage? or did you buy that?
