Default Lift kit questions

I'm thinking about lifting my Z71 3-4" max but don't want to do a body lift if I can avoid it because of the obvious downsides. Are there any other options without going to 6"?

Do you have any feedback on this system? I had been looking for something like this and finally gave up. I am really interested to hear from anyone who has this setup.

I have only seen one kit out here. I didnt talk to the guy. All that I can say is that the kit looks bad ***. I dont think you can beat their warranty either. When I get the money that's the lift I am getting.

15" of Available Front Wheel Travel- Thats sweet.

That kit may have sparked my interest in lifts again. I dont know. I was going try and stay streetish with 18's and some 285 Terra graplers..... I could keep my offroad ability and have a clean look..... BUt that kit is tempting. There are a couple of local company's making long travel kits for the FORD 4x4's. I couildnt find anything for the GM's. But now you show me this. DECISIONS!

I bet that kit doesnt have 15"s of up front seeing as how it uses stock a arms and stock cvs. and the rancho is a 6" with the torsion bars set at factory settings. id stay away from the skyjacker to.
