Title: lift kits?
Post by: lpapa15 on August 14, 2010, 10:12:28 am

What is the best, smoothest ride, 4" lift kit on the market?  Best kit for the price.  Suspension or body whatever you prefer.....

In order to get a smooth easy ride you're gonna want to get the tuff country ez ride or the other that's called soffride, made by either skyjacker or superlift I forget which.

rough country is cheap but it's rough.

i have a 6" rough never tried anything else but i can tell you this it makes a world of difference if you have all springs in the rear and no blocks

I have a 4" Tuff Country EZ Ride lift on my K5 and by no means is it a luxury car, but it rides better than my brothers 84 K10 stock height. Better than any other pre-90's SFA 4x4 i can remember being in.

b52 swap with 1/2T rear spings 4+1 spring will net 3.5-4" of lift and be really silky smooth. allmost on par with IFS pening how you setup the rear shackle angle
if your not goign to flex the suspsion.. i would stay with the standard steering setup and get a drop arm or link..
if you plan on flexing it get the crossover conversion kit.
