When doing my lift, the only "new" things that I used were shackles, add a leaves, and shocks. I got the add a leaves from Trooper Chris who had them on his troper for a while, I got the shocks from Matt, who has great coustomer service and got a lil snag taken care of RIGHT away, and a good friend made the shackles for me. As Huddy said about the skyjackers, they are a LIL softer than I thought and when hitting a big bumb on the highway u had better hang on to something, but I love them. They soak up the bumps and (I found) better the handling. The shackles and add a leaves are all that is really needed to do a lift, the rest is just icing on the cake. If I had had the $$$ at the time I might have gotten a full kit just to have all of the nice lil extras, but I am just a poor college student. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
