Need some feedback on these lift kits. I planning to go 6 inches, if anyone has any one of these lift kits on a similar truck, let me know the pros and cons. Thanks in advance!

 

Petersen's 4 wheel & off-road January 2007.
Nine kits tested on only chevy trucks: RCD, Pro Comp, Trail Master, Rough Country, Skyjacker, CST, Rancho, Superlift, Rock Crawler.

CST - great in the sand, complex installation
Rancho - In cab shock adjustability, drove like a stock truck
Pro Comp - Minimal rebound, Rear does not keep up with front
Rough Country - Completely bolt on, too stiff on dirt roads
RCD - Handles abuse no problem, Exposed Differential
Rock Krawler - Whole different level of truck, Dual front CV required
Skyjacker - Moves front diff towards center, bumpstops too small
Superlift - Inexpensive and rides great, Grade 5 hardware (8 is best)
Trail Master - Easy to install, Little soft in front

Best bang for the buck - Super lift
Best Hauler - Rough Country
Best in sand/high speed - CST
Best light trail duty - CST
Best price - Trail Master
Most offroad worthy undercarriage - Rancho
Overall winner (price not considered) - CST

Pick up the issue for the complete rundown. I have a Fabtech, I think it's really stiff, but, I like a truck to ride like a truck. Washboard terrainputs the truck in Agitate mode at high speeds; I keep the tire pressure relatively high.

 

xllent breakdown. now i have a platform to start research.Thanks man.

 

Nice job Cracker, glad to see another Peterson's fan out there.
