super runner steering linkage

Is the super runner steering linkage from superlift really worth it? Who ever has one on their truck does it really help in controlling bump steer?

It depends on your lift's height. Properly set up, the kit is worth every penny.

It's basically worthless at the upper end of the lift height range Superlift states however, but it's not difficult to modify it to work with such lifts.


How tall is your lift?

I am looking at a 6" lift by skyjacker or superlift. Another question is these companies offer say a 6" front lift with a 3.5" spacer in the rear. Would that look weird or is that common?

thats common because the motor and weight of all the other front end components really weigh down those springs. Id get the 8" lift springs from skyjacker and put them on your 6" lift. That will probly level the front to the rear when both are lifted. Back will probly still be slightly taller but nothing really that noticable.

At 6" lift the Superlift steering kit will need the centerlink dropped down 2" for it to work decent (like this)

Another option is the larger drop pitman arm Skyjacker sells (pt# FA600). This arm works decent with a 6" lift (unlike the arm that comes with the kit). It'll put a bit more load on your steering box & sector shaft than with using the steering kit however.

As for the "spacer", that sounds like it's referring to rear blocks. I would get a kit with rear leaf springs instead of blocks (Rangers have a bad enough with wheelhop, blocks would only exacerbate it).
