Need help with a decision
I am wanting to buy a 4" lift my 94 pickup extended cab
I am not gonna switch it to Straight Axle it's staying IFS
I am wanting to go with a skyjacker lift and am wanting to order it online because dealers near by are way more expensive then online, I am kinda nerve racked about spending 900$ online mind you I am only 16 years old I don't feel like being screwed over for money I worked my ass off for
Leaning towards two websites
www.4wheelonline.com - They have free shipping on the lift and Nitro shocks for 846$, only bad thing is I have heard that they have crappy customer service, and sometimes get your order wrong
www.rockymountainsusp.com - 81.72$ for shipping shocks come separate and the total is gonna be about 1000$ I haven't heard any bad reviews about these guys at all but I wanna save some money so I don't know if I wanna risk getting the order wrong
Mainly I just wanna know what you guys would suggest

SAS dont waist on IFS youll be "screwed" if ya do.
Keep in mind you need both lifts for the front and rear lifts that sell separately.
Do you plan on installing yourself?
What do you want to do with the rig?
tire size, ect?
To help suggest good options it would help to know a little more about what you want to accomplish.

its gonna be real tuff on those yota axles in the front with the 37's and 5.29's man. Ide say do the front solid axle. Its not to much more work and it will help tons more than an IFS lift aseptically if you want 37's. Dont waist on it cause its just bound to break in the front.
If you really want to do it then go for it. It will look good im sure but I think in the long run of dependability you wont be satisfied one bit

Search "SAS" and you shall find the mother load of info. Lots of options and ways to go about it but first ide say look into Marlin Crawler, Allpro offroad and Trail gear as they sell the best kits IMO and Search search search. Good luck and you wont be disappointed with the decision to go SAS

Cause you're going to trash your front end with 37" tires with IFS. My bet is even with SAS, its going to get trashed, unless you use Dana 60 axles ($3000 for both?)
I would urge you to rethink this idea of 37" tires. 33x12.5 tires seem to be the limit for IFS to handle without trashing the steering and CVs on a regular basis in you wheel it moderately and even that is pushing it alot.

37's on a Daily Driver?????????????????????????????????
If you are just doing trails, and some mud, do some BJ spacers, and coil spacers in the rear, and maybe a SMALL Body lift. It' will save you probably over $2000 if you just do 33's then you won't have to regear, buy the $1000++ IFS front lift, buy the 37's, buy new wheels with different offset, or COMPLETELY RUIN your IFS, and your MPG. If you have 33's and about 2-3 inches of lift total from above listed setup, you will not rub, you will not have to regear, it is fairly simple, and straight forward, your MPG will only go down a little, and your power won't really be changed much. And your rig will still look cool, and be extremely functional, esp if you do the rear locker. You mentioned you are only 16, so I'd think you'd wanna keep the budget from getting too high. And you simply don't need 4 inches of $1000 suspension lift plus the back, and 3 inches of body lift to stress your body mounts if you have this as a Daily Driver, and you do trails and mud, but no extreme rock crawling, or other stuff you need a crap load of armor for, a winch and a spotter for.
