i'm not sure if one is any better than another Dave, just be sure to get everything you need in one sweep, it'll end up being cheaper in the end and less stressful. there are a LOT of changes made when you lift, not only will you need springs, but also steering components, drop brackets, brake lines, and on and on. I guess i'm trying to say learn by my mistakes and look around for a good kit that will include everything you need and get it done all at once--well, to a certain degree anyway (ex you may want to buy suspension from one guy and steering somewhere else). I've used most vendors out there and i think they all have good products. some are newer are more experimental (like CAGE) and some are older and still sell the 'ol tried and true products from decades ago (Duffs) (although it still works good, i have their suspension). A lot for me was vendor location because it greatly affects shipping. Talk to them on the phone! If you get blown off on the phone, mark them off your list. I hate rudeness from a vendor! Vendors out there, hear this: your sales people slack and i go elsewhere.

I'm running the Wh system 3. I upgraded to rock crawler coils and add e-brake cables, hoses,and went with the rx9000 shocks. when ordering I told them I planned on using the F250 shock mounts that I got from BC.Broncos and they gave me longer shock for the fronts,and I ended up with a ride on the street that was very well behaved much like stock. The 9000x shock were a good choice because when I added the winch I only had to stiffen up the shocks and got the good ride back. Buy the most complete system you can afford products from the same vendor proably will work best together.
This has been on for 3.5 years with no failures or issues.
