    I'm shopping for a 4" lift kit for my 1990 pickup 4x4 V6.

    Anyone have opinions on lift kits? I did try a search.

    Skyjacker kit looks pretty complete with springs, A-arms, shocks, etc.

    thanks!

    What's your budget? And what are you looking to do with it?

    yeah, good questions. I like quality parts, so budget is not #1. I put Warn bumpers front and rear, to give you an idea. The Skyjacker kit with springs is about $1300.

    I will do light offroading, not too technical (have never gone rock crawling or anything like that). Also want to move up a tire size, I have 31" now.

    I admit I want to toughen up the look, and the rear leaves and shocks are shot anyway, so why not upgrade.

    sorry I'm a NOOB.

    What is "SFA"?

    and I looked at Total Chaos kits, don't they widen the track? I don't want to do that on my shop truck, it's a daily driver.

    Also, what about Old Man kits?
