Skyjacker's 3" is a good kit. Keep in mind, the lift is achieved with a Tbar crank (which by itself and overdone has adverse affects on corresponding parts and performance). I think they provide also upper Aarms and a diff drop bracket. Those ought to keep your ball joints and alignment tidy as well as keep the CV joints at lesser angles.

You can fit 33s on your truck stock with a tbar adjustment. Mind the width of the tire and wheel combo as well as backspacing and you don't need the lift kit.

But if yu'd like to get the kit, it is a good one.

 

with that kit, as i understand it, you are only fixing the ball joint angle on the upper ball joint. the lower joint is put at a fairly steep angle. this alone could lead to problems, such as the joint failing early. add hard driving and larger tires, and you are gonna have problems quick.

i liked the idea of that lift for my IFS, but stayed away because of the reliability issues. In the short term I am sure it is a good lift, but long term it may be regrettable.

 

Hey shorts.....surely you didn't ship your chevy to Japan, post up what your now wheelin.......A Yota or a Zuke ? I bet there is some intense steep terrain and mud over there ?! Post some pics !!! , maybe change your pic under your page pic.

as far as the 3" lift...I wouldn't do it...Crank your bars, but your 33's on and be done with it...If you do buy the 3" lift , you'll later regret it because you'll want a 6" instead......save up for a bigger lift and just crank your T-bars now.......and if you do , remember to realign the front end once the T-bars are cranked.

 

And go ahead and save up some more for balljoint and other front end parts that the torsion bar crank will destroy.

I would do niether. Mose makes a good point with the relaiblity of the lift components. Seems either one will wear parts out.
