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.

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.
