4" lift that doesnt sacrifice ride quality?

00Powerstroke · Jun 28, 2013

I am thinking I would like to do a 4" lift as the same time as I do new tires and wheels but I don't want to sacrifice the awesome ride quality of stock so I would like to hear your opinions or experiences.

i personally love my 4.5 icon lift. bought the springs and trac bar and shocks from trevor with pmf fab. i think my truck rides smoother than it ever has.

What stage lift is that?

ncollins64 · Jun 28, 2013

honestly i couldnt tell you. i pieced together the kit from pmf using icon springs

What are you running for shocks? and thanks for your input!

I'll second a Icon Lift.....or a Carli....either one.

If you don't have the money...don't get anything...save until you can afford the good stuff.

Superlift...not so super
Skyjacker...jacks your spine up
Rough Country...just like it says...rough

There is a reason why these lifts are cheap...because they're cheap junk....why spend 50+ thousand dollars on a truck, and spend a 1 thousand on a lift?....makes no sense...

Thats like buying a Ferrari, and installing a Sony Xplode stereo.......deedeedee

We build all of our kits and source our springs from Icon. The Icon coils are the best we have ever tested and will certainly improve ride quality. Depending on what kind of setup you want, we have 4.5" kits starting at $1700. If you would like to have us price out a kit, shoot me a call or pm and include what you use your truck for so I can price a proper kit for your needs.

I agree 100% and no that those lifts are junk, id rather not lift it at all then lift it and have it ride like ****, reason being that I am doing my research first! thanks for replying!

Trevor is great to deal with, I have icon coils and his 3 link arms waiting to go on.

I've driven in a carli pin top (4.5" lift). The ride is very nice on and off road, and you're still capable of stuffing a 37" tire in there.

Unless you drive most of the time off road, at a high rate of speed. .. you don't need piggy backs. .. bit of over kill for a street truck

4.5" Icon for the softest ride on the market. We run Icon kits on all our trucks here at the shop, cant go wrong with any of their kits.

znunez72 · Jul 19, 2013

I have the Carli Coilover 4.5" kit and the ride quality is much better than stock. You cant go wrong with PMF, Icon or Carli

Sprman · Jul 23, 2013

Icon 4.5" is a great kit. Been running it for about 5 years now... I don't have the icon shocks anymore since they started leaking and i haven't rebuilt them yet, but will one day. Currently running Bilstein w/resi's.
