What lift would be better?
I was looking at getting a 4.5 skyjacker all spring or a 5.5 fabtech long arm. What is the advantages of having a long arm vs all spring. I know skyjackers sit tall so are they pretty close in size? I was also looking to put some 36x13.50 iroks under it if the will fit. If anyone has pictures of the lifts it would help me out too. Thanks

You can easily fit 36" inch tires on either lift. A lot of people seem to think the long arm lifts ride a lot better than just coils and replacement arms. Mine rides terrible with two inch coil spacers in it, I have also been in trucks with replacement coils and the ride is slightly better. A good friend of mine has a long arm lift in his 1500 and rides like a Cadillac compared to mine. If you have the money i would go with the long arm lift.

thanks ya i was looking at them closer and the 5.5 fabtech long arm is about 1,000 less than the 4.5 skyjacker all spring short arm. so i think i will get the fabtech. Thanks

The long arm kit will help maintain the ride better than a traditional style lift. Go to BDS Suspensions website and watch the vidoes of a long arm kit vs. the normal lift. Its amazing the difference
