i am gonna get a one inch on my 02 to go along with the 7.1... who makes a better complete/safe/longer lasting kit..and dont want it to be sketchy or squeak and make creeking noise or anything... my buddies does on his ranger and its really annoying thanks for the input guys

 

Honestly, I don't think it matters. Find the height you want, and get the cheapest.

I know a kid that used hockey pucks.

 

Both very reputable. I'm runnin the RB.

 

buy some UHMW and make your own, save a ton of money...

 

Both are good but whatever you do don't use hockey pucks - they shatter! Aluminum or UHMW is much better.

 

I'd be comfortable with either one. Don't go for price over quality. The cheaper the more problems your likely to come across. And never use hockey pucks. Stupid idea.

 

I will attest to Brian's (Wabfab) spectacular customer service. He is and will continue to be my first choice for that very reason. I've never dealt with RB, but I hear good stuff.

 

I'm making a trip to WabFab tomorrow to get their 1" BL installed on my '02.

Like others have said, both companies offer a well designed BL...I'm simply getting mine from Brian b/c I'm getting it installed there.

I did get the $30.00 steering extension from RB though b/c WabFab did not offer one.

 

thanks guys

 

hey rock slide how did the install turn out? any pics would be appreciated. i just ordered my lift and the steering shaft ext. yesterday

 

Not to be picky, but I believe Roger prefers his products to be called 4Crawler Offroad.

i have 4crawlers and could not be happier with the product. but as stated in above posts, either one would be great. (i can vouch for 4crawlers customer service, i had alot of questions and all were answered promptly through email, im sure the wabbit would respond just as fast though.)

 

waabbfabb is awesome, got my shackle lift from there...awesome service, will order all my stuff from there :thumbup:

 

Turned out great! I'm very pleased. 1" was just the right choice for my setup.

I've got a lot going on right now, but I'll try to get some pics up soon

 

4crawler's website is best viewed after receiving a mechanical engineer degree at MIT.

 

i know the radiator and front bumper relocation plates are available, but what about the rear bumper? is there something for it, or is it adjustable on its own?

 

lol I did hockey pucks on my old truck

 

The rear bumper bolts to the body, not the frame. It will move up when you raise the body.

 

A lot of Fords have a squeak as standard!

 

Personally, I would (and did, I was his first prototype for a 3rd gen 4Runner body lift) go with Roger Brown / 4Crawler body lift. He offeres the complete package, body lift, brackets, steering extensions, etc. And VERY detailed instructions to go along with it. Its a complete package with Roger.
