Skyjacker 4" Lift Feedback

[4x4junkie]

Wow, a bunch more replies on here snuck past me. Only just now seeing them.

Thanks everyone for weighing in, I appreciate the feedback. I've seen lots of people talking about DIY-style lift kits, I'd love to know more about that if anyone has good details to share. I do plan on a V8 swap, so something that can hold the extra weight in the future is preferable.

DIY can be a practical option if you have an ability to work with metal (homebuilt extended radius arms are a popular item).
With a welder and knowing how to use it, it's a great way to both save a little $$$ and tailoring things more to your own needs. But otherwise in general you would be better off getting a complete kit.

Skyjacker's coil springs are a bit on the softer side, If you're planning a V8, you might want to get their 6" kit because you'll lose some lift height to the engine's weight (the fact you have a Supercab (heavier) adds to this as well). You might also need higher-end shocks for it that can better-control the extra weight too (or a dual-shock kit).
