skyjacker 3"?

Austin On The Coast · Sep 4, 2014

Anyone know if this kit is good, I have 35's and am keeping 35's when I replace them. I need shocks, and I'd like to replace the stabalizer, what shocks should I get for these? It's got front springs, rear aals, lower links and bump stops. The guy says I don't need anyrhing else for the kit what what do you guys think?

Should I get like a small block and some ubolts and some spacers For the front so I'm about 4-5" total and whatever other gear would need to go with that to be complete

For a 3" lift all you need is coil springs, rear springs, lower arms, shocks, and we suggest a new track bar vs a drop bracket. And no you can't just add a spacer and blocks for a 5" lift.

For shocks look for good monotubes like Bilstein 5100s and Skyjacker M95s.

There's no rear springs but there's aals, that work? I am learning all the lift stuff and have seen some decent price stuff here and there I can jab to throw together a kit

Yeah for a 3" lift aals are fine.

That is a good price for that kit, it was the first one I put under my truck. It lasted all of 48 hrs before it was torn out and replaced with a 5" lift, so just get a 5" kit and call it good.

Lol well I don't have tons of cash right now to use on lifting, I just saw this at $200 and didn't know if it's be something I could get and add other stuff too or what
If I do lift at max I'd want 5-6 inch suspension

Merc225hp · Sep 5, 2014

So don't lift it at all until you have what you want in parts. 90% of that stuff will not work going over 3" lift. So unless you are willing to drop the $200 and right it off then go for it.
Do your lift once and do it right, don't follow my shoes on this one because I have lifted mine three times and wasted lots of cash in the process.

Roger, i know what kit it is but its $800 plus the like stocks, stabalizer, brake line, etc so about à grand probably

If you got that kit and a 3" BL youd be at 6". Then you wouldnt need different suspension components to work with a 5". Still need shocks, I always recommend bilsteins. Mark is more then right though, pick your lift size and do it right , once. Dont dicker around and waste money on a small lift then want bigger and have to respend and redo a bigger lift. You should look at gears for 35's tto IMO.
