Lift Questions w/ or w/o Lift Struts

[Ashton_]

Does anybody have any experience in knowing the difference if purchasing lift kits with and without lift struts?

With lift struts you'll get full length struts that accommodate the lift. Without you'll get strut spacers that allow you to use your stock struts. If you can afford it get the lifted struts. The draw back is you'll need to get a shop to assemble the strut for you using the spring off of your stock ones. The cheesy spring compressors you can rent aren't made to compress the springs on trucks. If not, the stock struts plus spacers is what a lot of people use and perfectly fine for normal use. There's likely a small performance difference and a definite aesthetic difference between with or without.
