From what I've heard, they're pretty much junk. They have a super stiff ride. No personal experience though.

Ok then what is the best lift to go with for the price. I dont want to spend a whole bunch of money for it though. Who prefers add a leaf, and who prefers new leafs in the rear? I want new leafs but they are so darn expensive. ?:?

I would definitely go with new rear leafs. Blocks are the worse thing ever devised. I would run a BC or Wild Horses lift. I would never use a big lift company though.

Definitely save up our money and buy new leafs for the rear! It is ALOT better than an add-a-leaf. I am using the WH setup and like alot, no rear axle hop and the front coils work very well.;D

ok so if I hold out and wait for the lift which one should I get. Can I find a pitman arm and all that for cheaper than what wild horses wants for one? I can afford the lift but the shipping is what is going to kill me. ?:?

I have the very basic WH 3 1/2" lift kit. Front springs, and add a leafs. I dont mind what I have, obviously I would like the rear springs, but being a college student with no money I cant complain. I'm always working on mine, and still wish I had rear leafs, but I also wish i had double shocks, 4.56 gears, electric lockers, power brakes, disc brakes.... the lists can keep goin on and on. If your just wanting to have a basic lift I would say that the WH is very good. My friends dad has James Duff and he doesnt like it as much as WH. Also, i would say the only real chance for getting a decent deal on a pitman arm is possibly on ebay. The pitman arm, and the brake hoses are just gonna cost money. And the shippin is gonna be expensive, and the only way to justify that is the fact that your not paying tax.

I have a 2" K Bar S lift (Front coils & rear leaf springs) they are pretty stiff on the road. I would take you time and get a good suspension. Its your a$% riding on it. If it's your daily driver, it will be worth the wait for a nice ride.

I am going to swap out my springs for either the WH or BC Bronco springs. (And I only have 1000 in 2 years on my current springs)
