6" lift from 4WPW

6\" lift from 4WPW

In the Nov issue of Petersons 4WOR in the 4WPW ad there is a 6" lift kit from Genuine suspension for $363.
That seems like a pretty good deal except for the blocks in the rear of course.
Does anyone know anything about these kits?
The ad says that it gives an excellant ride but I suppose all the manufactures say that about their systems.

Re: 6\" lift from 4WPW

The Genuine Suspension lift is just a lift that 4WPW puts together themselves. They Basically use Pro Comp springs with low grade shocks. I just got the 4 incher from them and upgraded to the ProComp 3000 shocks and it's not that much more. I personally like the ProComp springs. They do ride pretty good with a single shock in front instead of duals.

Re: 6\" lift from 4WPW

Cool I belive that I am going to get this lift real soon.
It will be a good start anyway.
I can live with the blocks for a bit and get a set of rear springs later on.
I was going to get a 4" lift but I am infected bad and the next set of tires I get will be 38x12.5 TSL's.
So I figure I better go with a 6" lift.
I have no qualms about trimming the fenders they have gaping holes in them and by the time I cut them out I will be good to go.

Re: 6

Iv got 6" pro comp springs and their cheap eliminator shocks on the front of my truck.The ride is pretty good and they flex nice too.I paid $180 for the springs alone.

Re: 6\" lift from 4WPW

my biggest mistake in my short time of 'wheeling is dealing with 4WPW. I was royally screwed by them when I was a super newbie, but now that i am a regular newbie i know better. I would look on Off Road Design to get the bast for your dollar. I am saving up for thier 4in shackle flip kit. just MHO &amp; .02 worth...begin the flame!

Re: 6\" lift from 4WPW

The shackle flip is cool but not the route that I am going to go.
And 4WPW is just down the road from my shop.
So it shouldn't be too difficult to make sure that I get what I want.

Re: 6\" lift from 4WPW

I bought the kit as is. Thing springs are nice, if not a little stiff. I like them because by the time I put on the Roadarmor and winch I will be glad I have the stiffer springs. I run the cheapy shocks that they came with (dual) and it rides fine by me. Guess it depends on how you think a 6" lifted truck is supposed to feel. I left the sway bar off too. Mine wouldn't reach the axle any more. Make sure to get some brake lines and grade 8 bolts for your shackle bolts, and get the raised steering arm, as well. I put it on by myself in the back yard in about 2 hours. PM me if you want any more insight on this kit.

Re: 6\" lift from 4WPW

Well, although I've had a couple of "shaky" experiences with 4WPW, I still think they do a decent job. Their prices are hard to beat and I'm sure a lot of folks have had good experiences with them.

Re: 6

Zakk's post was maybe a bit cryptic. This is my take on it.

Whatever you do is up to you. It is your money that you would be spending and thus your decision.

Translation:
Some experienced wheelers that I've talked to believe that I got a bad deal on my lift. I agree with them.

<hr></blockquote>
Translation:
The amount I spent to fix the issues that were caused by my lift exceeded the amount I spent on the lift itself.

Hmm...they have an 8" Skyjacker with shocks for about $450 that's looking really good for me to install next summer.

Re: 6\" lift from 4WPW

does that skyjacker lift include steering corrections...

Look at the swamprunner kit... all springs shocks (Rancho 9000's) and steering for 750!!!
