You get what you pay for. Not gonna say pro-comp is a bad company, but there is a reason their lifts cost less.

Don't know why you went with ProComp to begin with. I would NEVER EVER buy anything from ProComp, SkyCrapper, Rough Country, etc...

Default bad decision

i agree - bad choice going for the procomp, poor mans lift (not that i'm rich now), but there's some truth in the saying "do it right the 1st time".

if i would have waited until i could afford a 'real' lift i would have saved a bundle. i have $600 invested on ProComps inferior product (now sitting in box), spent 30% more buying Teraflex parts seperately versus buying a complete kit.

live and learn!

(forgot to mention Teraflex support is superior to Procomps too)

Thanks 69thunderbird, looks great! Nice license plate there. Did you do before and after measurements?

Default no measurements

no, i wish i would have measured - i thought a 4" lift was a 4" lift - obviously some folks cheat (procomp) and some folks are more 'modest' (teraflex) in their lift measurements.

i heard procomp is really a 3.5" lift and teraflex's seems to be a 5" lift

i'm liking modesty!

Default Lol

I was sporting a Teraflex sticker after i called their customer service and spent a lot of time trying to 'fix' my ProComp lift. I was having trouble adjusting the Teraflex control arms SHORT enough to work on the procomp "4" lift.

Now i have a complete Teraflex kit, well minus their shocks, and the control arms work perfectly. I may end up getting Teraflex shocks too since the MX6 bushings keep popping out - that way i completely eliminate the procomp nightmare/headache from my rig.

I have the procomp stage II and I dont have a problem with it other than it didnt give me a full 4"s and procomp shock bushings and swaybar bushings are garbage.

I wonder if my procomp arms will still work if I bought 4" Tf springs...
