Default which style of lift is better?

Trying to collect all the info and opinions on these lift styles. So post up with your likes, dislikes, and WHY.

Also, if anyone knows...
What are the pros and cons of these lifts?
(Which one has better articulation? Which one rides better on a DD? Etc...)

Hopefully a sticky... MODS

Personally I like the full drop because you get more "bang for your buck." Small lift kits(anything 6 and under) are all gonna be about the same. RDS,Rancho, Fabtech, Pro-Comp, Superlift,etc are all great kits and there's not one that is "the best."

Now if you want to start paying double what those cost, the Cognito lift is just about "the best". Everything on it is extremely well built and I have never heard of a kit breaking.

Full Throttle is a great lift as well, but like the Cognito, expect to pay about $2500 for a 6" kit.

a full drop kit is better by far... you dont get the wider track out front that most knuckle lifts cause and you drop the differential the full 6 inches which will keep your cv shafts at better angles...
