Hey guys, i finally started building up my lift, i decided to piece together my Skyjacker 6" lift, my plan is SJ drop brackets, 6" SJ coils with about 1" of washer under since i am a 1997 supercab with the 4.0. When i sell my deavers i am getting goign with the skyjacker 6: leafs. i have everything here exept i didnt even think about the radius arms until now, so now i am truly torn on do i just pull the trigger and buy the extended SJ ones or for a 600$ saving just get the drop brackets? i do feel like while i am so far into pulling all this apart i might as well just do the extended ones, but that 600$ difference is a hard pill to swallow. for those that have either set up is the extra travel worth the money and do they really make aligning that much easier?
Also if i just did the coils and no spacers, which would get my about 4.5" of lift from what i read could i forgo the RA drop brackets all together? This will be an off road truck for moderate trails with a roof top tent and camping gear, and will either be going with 33's or my current 31's since i have 3.73 gears. This is my first build of an off road truck and my first TTB so any insight would be appreciated. Thanks
