i just finished up a 6" lift on my f150, i went with rough country, they had good reviews so i went for it. i like the kit, its quality, comes with everything you need, and its priced pretty good.

check them out

I like Pro Comps stuff.

I just installed a leveling lift kit on my Tundra .... 3" in the front , 1" in the back ... I bought it through Truxxx. I went this route because if I ever decide to sell the truck I can simply take it off within 2 hours and be returned to stock ... plus I don't want to kill my gas mileage.

It's only going to ride as smooth as the shocks you choose to put on it.

If you go with the standard, white bodied shocks, that they all come with, except have a different sticker on it, then your ride is gonna suck.

I have Sway-A-Way and Bilstein's on my truck and love them!

A friend of mine just put a rough country 6 inch on his 06. I was fairly impressed to be honest. He went that route due to price. But I also have to say that Fabtech makes some great products, just costs a little more than most want to pay.
