6" Skyjacker...how is the ride?

Alright so I have an old thread about this but its buried I finally found out the quote to the lift. Many of you know that Iet the CEO of skyjacker and I got a good deal. Anyone have a 6" skyjacker that can tell me how the ride is? Both on and off road and I am thinking about 37" BFG All Terrains....I want you guys to throw your opinion in on tires and what you think of the 6".

I have been running a Skyjacker 6" with a 2" spacer with 37's for 3 years on my 08. It rides great. I wish I would have powder coated all the parts prior to install. The paint is *****ty, but the ride is great. I will be tearing the lift off one of these days and powder coating EVERYTHING.

Thanks for pointing that out, I will be looking into powder coating mine. So it won't hurt with me already having a 2.5" leveling kit already on?

Im not sure what leveling kit you have, but if its like most that simply bolt on top of the coil, youre in business!

Also, I chose skyjacker after much research on the other popular kits such as Fabtech and Pro Comp... From an engineering standpoint its much better (in my book). I didnt feel like messing with the front driveshaft like with the Fabtech kit. The way Skyjacker lowers the front diff makes it possible to use the drive shaft as is. That was one of the big selling points for me... Its a solid kit with **** paint...

Yes, all my leveling kit is bolt on over coil over. You know is like you can never get a product without something being flawed. That would be too easy.
