    IMHO

    3" coilover lift over a drop bracket ANY day

    You'll have better ground clearance with 35s on a 3-inch lift than you will with 35s on a four and a half inch lift

    Post up pics once you get the lift wheels and tires on!

    I had a Superlift IFS lift on my 92 pickup. I beat the hell out of it for over 300,000 miles and never had a problem. I took that truck everywhere, including the Rubicon.

    Personally, I'm still working on figuring out the best way to get 35s under my truck without permanent alterations. If I were to go with a kit, I'd certainly consider a Superlift again. From what I can gather, coilovers are a much better way to go.

    Why a 12 in wide wheel? That seems awfully big to me.

    Shitty shocks and blocks - not my cup of Tea. I'd rather invest in suspension that actually improves ride/handling/travel.
    If you are just looking to lift only, it gets the job done. But I'd imagine you're still dropping as much coin as a pair of Kings cost front and rear. Which doesn't make sense to me.....at all :D

    edited to add: I'd imagine the 4.5 Superlift is around $2600 installed?
    You can do Kings for that same price and install pretty damn easy yourself.

    Installed? Because that’s where bracket lifts get you.

    $1K install and lift? Or $1250? Or $2250?


    If you’re all-in cost is $2250 - pretty close to what I figured.

    If lift is $1250 installed, that’s a deal and gets you what you’re looking for. You can upgrade shocks in future.

    A grand for 4 new wheels and tires, a suspension lift and everything installed? That can't be right.

    Yep. I tried to figure it out, and obviously gave up.

    I'm assuming that the 1k is just total labor cost on top of the products because I PERSONALLY know what jobber cost is on D621's and not to mention the tires....

    Right I was saying 1k for installation of everything wheels, balancing, the suspension lift, & the body mount chop. Not price of the wheels. I could've posted a little clearer my bag

    Yeah I should've made it clearer 1k for all installation not the price of the wheels & tires. Thanks for the info. I've decided to wait & go with a Coilover set basically do it a little more better

    That’s the best choice but also just confirming is your truck 4x4?
