They pride themselves on always using state-of-the-art software and hiring the best of the best engineers to always create the best products.
They have received numerous awards for their products and create excellence from the design process all the way through the testing process.
Design
This 4-inch suspension is a heavy-duty design that follows their 6-inch lift design standard. The only difference here is that you get a little less lift and a much lower price. This system allows for 35-inch tires.
It uses thick steel for maximum strength and durability. The kit comes with everything you will need to lift your vehicle for a quick, no weld installation.
Performance
As far as performance goes, we looked to reviews from those we know running this setup. People seem to rave about how strong, and durable this suspension lift kit seems to be. They beat it up, take it offroad and through the worst of terrain and it holds up to the abuse. The negative things we have found are that it can be difficult to install so many recommend having a professional install the system.
The only other con people seem to have is that it could absorb some of the shocks better, be sure to adjust it as needed.
Price
The 4-inch suspension lift kit ranges from $771 to $8,664 dispensing on if you get the optimized or the budget system and depending on the type of truck that you drive. For the high quality, you are receiving this lift kit is priced incredibly reasonably. We definitely recommend it.
