Not necessarily prices for everything, but that's what google is for.

lol. I'm not Mr. Knowledge ...at least when it comes to lifting. I'm not the best person to ask about lift tech...especially SL's. I'm more of a BL person lol. That gives you a starting point though. If you do a search on the forum for those brand names there are a number of reviews written up by people.
I seem to remember hearing good things about the Rough Country and the Trailmaster one though. I think there were a few complaints about the BDS one. I may have that backwards though lol. I know for sure (since there are a number of people with it on the forum) the rough country one is good.

Lol well since ive joined up, youve been Mr Knowledge so thats the nickname I am giving you. I looked at a few Rough Country lifts but am really eying a Pro Comp right now. Only thing im worried about ordering online is if i get just a lift kit that they advertise, am i waiting a week or 2 for it to come in only to find out i need to wait another 4 weeks to order separate parts that are needed for install that dont come.

Any advice?

i got a 6in from superlift. I havent had any problems yet. I dont really recommend any 2in suspension lift cause you can do the same thing by cranking your tbars and getting shackles for a quarter of the cost.

Exactly, the 2" suspension lift is a waste of money.

Dude ive had a 96 Ford Explorer when i was 17 i lifted 4 inches witha rough country lift kit, Then i bought a 02 Explorer sports trac and lifted it 4 inchs witha superlift kit, and i just put a 6 inch lift in my 1991 k5 blazer with a rough country lift kit

i bought all both rough country suspensions lifts from ebay the explorer cost me $700 shipped and the Blazers 6 inch cost me $625 shipped and i bought my Superlift kit from summit racing and spent over $1500 i would search ebay especially a customer called Top Gun Customs if u cant find it on there ebay site they would deff have it on there normal website..

I like my Rough Country lifts never had a problem with them but from experience with mine and my friends trucks i would say Fab Tech and Skyjacker Makes the most solid lifts
