Default 4" lift

I found this lift kit for less than $500. Anyone with lifting experience ever hear of this company, and judging by the pic, if it looks like a descent kit?

cool thanks for the info. I see you have the dynomax exhaust as well. I just put mine on this week. So far I like it, nice sound without being way tooooo loud. But I didn't read the fine print about not having to get the intermediate pipe So I cut the pipe from the stock muffler and had to run to PepBoys to get an extension.

i really like the dynomax too, and i seen quite a difference in power from stock. i just wished it would have been a little louder myself.

Actually is doesn't get worse, it gets better. It gives you more air flow, increases torque and hp a little, so you don't need as much gas to get going.

The truck I have has the big tank. I think it is a 20 gallon, so my numbers will be different from a smaller tank

before I put it on, I filled it up, after 1/4 tank of use I had about 120 miles. After i put it on, and filled the tank, after 1/4 of a tank, I got about 163 miles.

before 1/2 tank 200 miles.... after 1/2 tank 240 miles

I drive mostly street. but the reason I got 163 was mostly highway, but there is still a good increase of mpg's

If you end up doin that lift let me know how it turns out, I was looking at the same kit, I found a really nice one, its a little more pricey but looks like it is much higher quality, search "camtech enginering". I have a Flowmaster with two turndowns on my Ranger, nice sound, a little extra power and about 0.5 mpg better Sorry for the off topic.

Cool deal. What system did you get? I got the Super Turbo System. It was teh only model they had that worked for my 90. But yes, that low rumble sounds cool, without being overly loud. I think the Flowmasters are a bit louder, but wasn't going to pay another $100 or so for it.
