My question is whether you plan on taking the truck off the pavement. If so, i have had better luck with Superlift. They just seem to hold up a little better. It might be to your benefit to pay the extra bill to get the Superlift. Like I said, I've had better luck with Superlift. My truck has a 12" Superlift on it right now. It rides a little rough, but that's to be expected with 12" springs. The only problem I have right now is my steering Drag link is not for a lifted truck so all the joints are bad. Make sure your kit has one with it, or you can buy one separately.

oh ya i will take it off road i live next door to trollhogin, off road park, but its a daily driver, and all the kits i found listed above come with a steering arm to correct the angles, but soon i want cross over in it. the only problem is after i buy shocks and break lines i might as well buy a brand new lift complet with every thing...

There are some complete kits on eBay. I found a 6'' lift for these trucks for, I think it was $450?? It came with new shocks and all the hardware, and I think a steering arm too. For the lift that's on my truck, someone who owned it before me spent quite a bit of money. I did a little research. The superlift 12'' kit runs about 1850 on their website. I am thinking about buying another truck with a 6'' lift just for the trails. The badlands isn't monster truck friendly...lol

hmm rough country's 6 inch must be alot different and better then their 4 inch cuz we had one and it was stiffer then crap, beat you to death on the road, let alone off road, it was so rough we never took it wheelin.

If you need shocks and brake lines might as well find a complete kit. Ours was only $300 shipped 4 inch rough country with steering arm and shocks.
