    I'll put this out there, if your intention is to have a true 6 inch lift the Procomp and fabtech are superior to the other brands at this point. Because both of those lifts are designed around a 6 inch. The knuckles are taller you'll have more caster and more camber adjustment the angles of everything will be not so maxed out because you're not trying to split The difference between a 4 and 6 inch to save money.
    That's just common sense. And the suspension companies themselves will tell you that , it's simple math and engineering.

    Just read this thread, you will find that at least 2 of us talking (myself & Jason) spent a lot of money making PC better, but in the end it was still a snowplow.


    All blocks are horrible. You can combine a 12"-14" shock, relocate, shackle flip with a 5" shackle and get a much better ride and performing rear lift over blocks. Of course you will also need a full 6" leaf pack as well.

    As for the front, build coilovers and call it done.

    @Hiluxski and I were not debating which brand was superior. We were only arguing that Pro Comp uses a 6" drop bracket and BDS uses a 4" drop bracket.

    I used to think the pro comp bracket was 6". But it's not. I think it is taller than a rough country though. RC is the same 4" and 6" options. Here's my Pro comp bracket.

    Zone came to mind. Not positive on that one. May have been Bulletproof. My research into DB kits is over a year old anyway.

    Nice, you are able to rock 16s with a 6in lift? Do you have spacers?

    I have 1.25 spacers I'll probably have to bump up to 2in if I go a wider tire or different rims

    Finally made the jump to 35s. I was SUPER hesitant to do it. Debated on 33's, but decided if I am going to make the jump I better make it noticeably different. Good bye to my gas, hello looking Bad Freaking ASS!

    Yeah, what really pushed me was 4wheel parts had these for $199 a piece. I have been watching them for a while. too long. I could have saved good money if I bought them earlier. They were 189.99 a piece, missed that Then they had 20% off, waited and missed that. Last I missed they were paying sales tax on these which would have saved me about $60. So I decided to just buy them before they were no longer $199.99
