I have a 6.5 inch pro comp lift and was able to stuff some 38s under it. Im not sure how much it was but if you search for pro comp on google Im sure you could find it. The only drawback is the leaf springs that come with the kit are stiff as hell! Overall I love how it looks!

im thinking im going to go with a rough country 6in, its like $879, and i can put 37 on it,

anybody no the pros and cons of the rough country 6in lift?

I have a rough country 6in on mine for about a year now with no problems. Rides a little rough tho, also i was able to fit some 38s they rub a little

If you are still interested shoot me a call at the number below... I can sell you a Superlift 4" brand new within your budget... but I only have one in stock

just gonna throw this out there, my lift was BRAND NEW 11 months ago and the spring bushings are SHOT so be very careful with superlift stuff!!!! I have an 8" lift and 37s on mine and it looks great, looking for a set of 2.5-3.5" shackles and hangers to put on with my 37s.

I am going w/ an Icon 6" (35" tires since there $400 cheaper than the 37") heard alot of good things about the ride quality and the springs are lifetime warrantied. You can get them the cheapest @ "offroadwarehouse.com". Beware some people here will try to sell you lifts but are just another middle man to jack up the price. Bought a lift from Cary @ ctperformanceinc.com had to return it due to the fact that he threw in a few items @ the end and they were way overpriced compared to what I could get them for myself (a supposed dealer?). I received some items accidentally and they were shipped from another retail shop instead of the manufacturer. Had later talked to Icon myself they didnt agree w/ his advice and told me to order the 6" spring lift instead of 4.5" hanger and $400 worth the upgraded new factory springs. Cost me $100 to ship them back to Ford! Still arguing about whos going to pay for that...

If you are using those tires (275/70) you better stick to a 4.5" Icon shackle lift. IMO 37" tires cost too much compared to 35's. 325/70 Nittos are pretty big tires w/ full tread on 18's.

It sounds like you found a better deal online after your initial purchase, and now you're mad at ct performance because of that?

Been there myself, more than once, and probably will be again. That's going to happen with all the online businesses that there are. There will always be someone cheaper online making mere pennies to make a sale. But what is their service and overall product knowledge like? You get what you pay for, IMO...

I've never done business with ctperformance, but how in the hell are you mad at them for that? Suck it up, learn from your mistake and know next time to do more research. Sounds like it's your fault, not ct's, don't dog them for it...
