I went to Less Schwab today and the guys there are telling me that the Tuff Country EZ Ride is the way to go. I know nothing about lifts except that I dont want my tires sticking out from under the fender. How is this lift? I also have thought about the Pro-Comp. Help me out guys!!!
Thanks,
Lawdogso

Installation of the Tuff Country looks "EZ"ier than a standard lift due to the one piece subframe. I was sold between superlift and Tuff Country. I needed the lift to clear 5.5" of backspacing and both say 4.5" so I had to call. SuperLift was open and Tuff Country was going to open 1 hour later and I had to go to bed. I went with the SuperLift. I didn't see anything wrong with the Tuff Country.

Tuff country looks like a good lift too, probably as good as an RCD, but I can't find them for a decent price.

Rought Countries lift now has a setup where it uses a cantilever deal to push on the lower a-arm from the torsion bar so you don't have to drop the torsion bar crossmember. Looks cool. Click the billet a-arm pic to see the cantilever thing.

Rocky Mountain Suspension has them for $1700. My SuperLift was $1600 with Bilstein shocks. The Tuff Country's come with their own shocks. They were slightly higher than most, but comparable. The RCD were ~$1850.

Well, I just changed my order from SuperLift (due to being in Louisiana and backordered for a couple weeks) to Tuff Country. Should be at my house this next weekend, just in time for installation. If I remember, I'll get some pics over the installation.
