Actual lift of Superlift 5.5 on a 94 XCab?

Zorro · 10-13-2008, 06:28 PM

Just out of curiosity ... how much actual lift will some superlift 5.5 spring yield on a 94 4x4 Supercab with a 100lbs winch up front? And possibly dual batteries as well.

I ask since most agree the 6" Skyjacker is actually only a 4.5" on the Super cabs ...

Thx

You should see about 4" of true lift.

I would say closer to 4.5". The Superlift coils are stiffer than Skyjackers and probably wouldn't sink down as much (you can always put a few washers or a coilspacer under the coils though).
