Skyjacker Suspension
What it fits: '95 1/2-'01 Toyota Tacoma
Amount of lift: 3 inches
The details: This kit boasts front SkyKing coilover shocks that have a patent-pending bracket design that allows the coilover to pivot or rotate smoothly throughout the travel cycle. In addition, the coilovers feature a Heim-style spherical rod end at both the upper and lower mounting positions. This eliminates top-shaft leverage that leads to coil binds that could bend or even break the shaft. This kit comes in two forms. One uses Softride replacement rear springs, while the other uses add-a-leaves. You can choose from H7000 Series Hydro or N8000 Series Nitro shocks for the rear
What it fits: '94-'01 Dodge Ram
Amount of lift: 7 inches
The details: This kit was designed to add articulation to the Dodge Ram's list of attributes, and it does so by using a Long Arm Lift System that allows it to really flex. There are two kits available; one uses front coil springs with dual shocks, while the other uses front SkyKing coilovers. Regardless of which you choose, both kits include rear leaf springs, a new heavy-duty crossmember (it strengthens the support brackets for the lower arm attaching point and allows transfer case and rear driveshaft clearance), a re-indexing ring (rotates the transfer case down for proper driveshaft angle), track bar (with polyurethane bushings at the axle end and a jointed rod end at the upper end), an adjustable track-bar relocation bracket, and Skyjacker's Extreme Drop pitman arm.

Superlift Suspension
What it fits: '97-'02 Jeep Wrangler
Amount of lift: 6 inches
The details: The complete system includes Rockrunner lower front and rear trailing links that incorporate swivels to enhance articulation, bumpstop extensions, antiroll-bar extensions, new Superide front and rear coil springs, high-density rubber coil spacers, dropped pitman arm, and Superide shock absorbers. The neat thing about this new kit is that it's an upgrade for Superlift's 2- and 4-inch TJ suspensions, so if you're already using one of those kits on your Jeep, getting more lift doesn't require throwing away a bunch of perfectly good components. Further, the kit can be enhanced with Superlift's Rockrunner upgrades. The kit allows for use of 35-inch tires with standard offset rims.
