Anyone know anything about a 6.5 or a 9.5 inch lift from truckinsuspension.com, i would like to know if they are worth the buy and live up with the parts quality they claim

Check out some of the old posts on this site and you'll find out that just about everybody agrees that they are poorly made and will ruin your truck. If you have a 97-99-then go with the Rancho 3-inch (high quality)or the Tuff-Country 5.5(average quality). If you have a 2000-2002-go with the Rancho only. Rack and pinion front suspension on Daks does not like lifts over 3 or 4 inches unlike other trucks like newer Rams. When I saw the ad for TS Suspension in Dodge Truck World magazine I got exited until I started reading some of the posts on this site. It was the same thing over and over about nothing on the front end worked right anymore and parts wouldn't fit right and wheels wouldn't stay in alignment. One guy said that his Dak was at TS Lifts garage about a month before their installer gave up on it. I really wish that I had heard good things about these lifts because I want to give my '01 some altitude. Maybe the people that make these lifts will keep trying and finally make a lift that you can count on that gets a good reputation like Rancho.
Until then I'll be doing the body lift thing first and then saving my pennies for the Rancho, even though its only a 3-inch.

well that does make sense considering the 9.5 inch lift is alot cheaper than the rancho 3inch... but i want more than a 6inch lift... without a body lift, but thanks for the info
