been reading now i have a question
i am going to get a 6" suspension lift BUT want a really good ride from what i gather all the off the shelf kits are about the same and was wondering if i could piece together a lift kit for my self? and if so where do i begin? i was planning on just ordering a plain 6" lift and then ordering shock towers and some reavoir shocks for the front but am not sure if that would make a difference? well any help is appreciated......and not looking into kore or carli since i dont want just 2.5-3" of lift so no need to get into that discussion here....thanks for the help

None of the off-the-shelf kits are gonna give you a real good ride quality because they all use stiffer than stock springs. The ride may be close to stock, but it will be somewhat stiffer. If you are wanting a good ride quality I would call and talk to Don @ Thuren Fab. By the time you buy a basic kit and then add all of the components you can simply get a custom kit from him and be set.
An ideal setup would be 6" lift coils, his shock towers, custom valved King reservoirs, add-a-packs with a 2" or 3" block, some radius arms, adjustable track bar, and extended links/drop brackets all from Don. Talk about smooth riding and performing awesome. You got to have $$$ to play, but it would be well worth it in my opinion if you want an excellent combination of looks and performance......

There's always Kelderman, they offer a like 4"-6" airride kit. Or maybe go to topguncustomz, and get 3"-4" springs and a 2"-3" spacer, add the dual shock kit, and custom length or adjustable control arms, steering correction, then of course something for the back.

if its "ride" you want Kelderman is the only answer. I plan to order my 2008 megacab this month it will get a 24" frame stretch for a long box and then straight to Kelderman west in riverside cali for the big lift!
