Who Makes Best Lift Kit???

I need a Lift Kit big enough to fit 36 x 14.5 so I figured a 8 in would work. Who makes the best for these model trucks. Mine is an 81 1/2 ton. I had a post before about BDS Suspension but didn't have many replies. I need one that also comes with everything.

A 6" suspension lift would be fine. skyJacker, rancho and many others are reputible. Get a steering arm, Adjustable Drag link, and a good dual steering stabilizer too.

I agree, any of the top names in suspension are good.
www.tuffcountry.com/
has a reputation for being a good soft spring rate that provided good articulation and ride.

I put a 6" Skyjacker lift on my 86 k-10 and am VERY pleased with it. I had to get the drop swing arm to get most of my turn radius back and also had to get the brake line extensions. I have 35" tires on it now and occasionally hear a little tire rub. I didn't get the rear springs because I don't have too much horsepower to worry about axle wrap and in the past I had allready had the springs rearched and added a leaf. The ride is a little more "sharp" than stock but it really "soaks" the bumps up well. I hope this info helps you.
