I am very very surprised to hear the Skyjacker lift kits are one of the biggest cruiser sellers on the market, I know nobody with that kit.

i just bought downeys,i just had to be different.I hope they work out for me.

I have to throw my hat in for HFS from Coolcruisers. I helped them design them and stole every idea from the leading spings and rolled them into one set.

I think they are the best on the market.

I've got 4" BDS with RS9000x's and am really happy with them. On my daughters '66 I think I'll try a set of HFS's just for the fun of it. My 2 cents

I second that, the only people I know (including myself) have removed their Skyjacker lifts. Main issue being the famous "Skyjacker lean" usually after a period of time the front end of a jacker lift will cave and the ass will start to look higher than the nose. After this happened to me I tried an RMA with Skyjacker, they sent me "refurbished" springs, which of course had the same issue. I then took the springs to a local shop in Denver to have them "re-arched" only to be told that the quality of the steel in the spings was to low to have the "re-arched." Couple that with the bizarre practice of stuffing their parts boxes with religious pahphlets and you have a recipie for "weird."

I have a superlift on my 74 thats being transfered to the 72 frame off I am doing, fine springs, a bit harsher then the Jacker springs, however no sag at all.

Ive got a bds 4 inch lift. Love it. Lifetime warranty. And it wasnt that expensive.

4" Alcans on FJ40 w/1" ext shackles, Doetsch Tech shocks, 35 MTR's = excellent ride on & off road, very happy w/flex - a little pricey @ $850 for springs & shocks, but wouldn't do anything different

4" skyjacker with extended shackles in rear and shackle reversal up fron.
A little fender cutting and they clear 35" tall tires.

At CM05 I thought they were a little stiff but they did not have a lot of trail time on them. After Rubithon this year I would say they are broken in. By the end of the trail coming up Cadilac Hill they were flexing really nice. All it took were a couple of days of good hard use.
