Someone remind me what changes when you install a Superlift...
It's a drop bracket kit. That's it. It lowers where the lower A-arms mount to the frame, thus creating lift. Stock but taller. Allows for bigger tire. No added strength is gained. If anything, it's weaker only in the sense that if you don't replace the front shaft, it's gonna wipe out your stock one. The Superlift was worth the $400 I paid for mine....but I wouldn't drop the $1800 coin for it. I'd apply that dough on a D60 and some link material. lol. If I didn't get a screamin' deal on it, my truck wouldn't have it. That's just me though. I love mine and it performs great for what I use the truck for now a days. Not saying it's a bad lift, it's a great lift...IMO the BEST lift and most reliable lift ever made for a 98+ 4x4.
For you, OP, sounds like a bodylift is your best choice. a: Very affordable. b: can be installed in a weekend with some friends with mechanical abilities and almost basic handtools. c: still be able to afford tires so it looks right. I believe on Performance Accessories website, they have a downloadable instructions. Take a peek at that a few times before taking the plunge and going for it. Does the same thing a Superlift does: allow for larger tires. But at a far less cost. And, well, it's the most popular lift out there for 98+ 4x4's. We don't have many bolt-on options.
