Default The lift!

Ok i think i have decided which lift i want! Fabtech 6", but should i do bracket or spindles? What is the difference in height and install? Also, do these lifts come with a true 6" block, because i don't want that rear end squat!

I'd go with Superlift over Fabtech. A lot of people run their F.I.T. kit with very good results.

I would go with a BDS lift. Lifetime warranty on all of there parts. They are a bracket style lift wich uses all factory hardware. The block would be a 6inch block. but you could always buy a new leaf spring that would give you the 6 inch lift for the rear. I had this lift on my truck no problems at all.

I would go with a superlift, I hated my fabtech for the fact that it made the track wider and didnt drop the diff a full 6 and made bad angles.

actually, just found a superlift! 6-7.5 front and 5" block rear. It comes with dual shock mounting brackets and 6 shocks! i can get it to my door for $1430. It is a bracket style, how hard is the install? Also, would there be any problems with running any specific wheel, because some kits say you cannot use the stock wheels and other stuff about backspacing?
