blistein 5100's or skyjacker lift kit????

hey guys i got a 97 stock taco with 4 blown shocks, i and found a 3" skyjacker lift kit with- 2 struts/AAL/2 shocks for $430...... ORRR should i get 4 blis 5100's and buy an AAL for close to the same price? new to the taco world and wanted to know whats a better bang for the buck?

 

Many will recommend the 5100's. I have Skjacker and think its a fine product.

$343.14 w/ free shipping i believe. Call Greg (888) 251-4252 tell him Jeff sent you.

edit: at $343 it does not come with the rear shocks.

 

Nice, hows the stiffness with your ride?

 

You might need more then an AAL with a 97 your leaf packs are mostly likely shot.

 

its not stiff, just rides like a truck should.

 

added link to kit in my first post

 

haha, yeah my truck has 220k on it and it feels like she is gonna flip over every time i turn. Luckily every cyl on my 3.4 has over 150 psi.

 

i normally would suggest the 5100s but recently there have been quite a few people with only 20-30k on the 5100s and say the truck rides like a covered wagon but that with them set at the highest setting. im sure if you set them at stock setting it might be a little better. i have no info on the skyjacker though.

 

If you want the full 3" lift the Skyjacker does not compress the spring to make for a more harsh ride, the actual strut is longer to gain the lift and you still get a nice ride.

 

cool thanks, guess skyjacker is the winner then huh. And doesnt an AAL help save the worn out leaf pack?

 

AAL will help but will be a short term band aid. If your serious about the Skyjacker kit, give Greg a call.
