I'm running a RR stubby front and a small 8000lbs winch. I'd hate to have a heavy full size bumper and a large winch like the powerplant! I've been shopping for a larger LA lift guess this helps eliminate this brand for me

I just put on a teraflex 3" with arms and got 4 1/2"+ in lift. I did have a problemwith the brake lines that came with kit. all four fittings leaked needless to say I bummed rides for a week but they sent me new lines. Its good lift and easy install. Cant wait to see what it will do.

I initially bought the Pro Comp Stage 1 lift kit. My only regret was that the kit reuses the factory rear springs and just adds a spacer. I have since replaced the rear springs with the springs that come from the Stage II kit. I'd recommend that if you get the Stage 1, pay the extra money and get the stage II springs.

I've been looking at this lift as well. Did you get any additional lift with the new springs? Did you still use the spacer with the new springs?

I have a BB on mine just wish I could have gone bigger. I do regret purchasing "Skyjacked" shocks and their Disintegrating shock bushings.

You think the company should replace springs for anyone running a setup that causes spring sag? If I were in your shoes I would just buy a 4" spring from them and go on with life. It is only like $170. No way one company can predict the weight of your components.

I have no issue with spring sag, and I dont even have HD springs. My coils are from December of 06.

I'm thrilled with the lift, rides great and flexs nicely.

I would check your shocks and make sure they are not blown out.

Don't regret the height. But I do regret that it's a budget boost. Need to replace with coils and shocks.

I went with the ProComp 4" stage 2 lift and have been happy with it. I should have just kept my bb on until i had put away enough for a long arm lift though. But overall happy with it.

I like mine and everything works great. Recentered my steering wheel and my traction control lights cut off today. Everything feels good. Only regret was not doing this sooner and doubting myself.
