I've been looking around, found this lift kit for $840. anybody ever had a lift by "Superlift," and does anybody know if I can get a lift for less...

Are you re-gearing with the 35's? The cheapest lift is going to be Cranking torsion bars + ball joint spacer, 1" body lift and add-a-leafs in the rear. With this you are still going to have to do some triming (you won't be able to tell unless you look in the wheel wells) and pound the body seam flat on the back of the front wheel wells.

Prepare for a un-useable 5th gear. I run 33's on a 1" body lift, cranked torsion bars and add-a-leafs in the rear. Truck has 4.56 gears and a aussie locker and other goodies.

thats looks like a decent setup with the 33's. Might be the anwser. Thanks. How well does suspension lift+body lift work out if I would like to add more lift or bigger tires?

With the torsion bars cranked up and the ball joint spacers you are at the limit of "cheap" IFS lift. The next step is a bracket lift which is a lot more expensive. I personally would not go any higher than a 1" body lift. Too much headache with other little things and too much leaverage on the body mounting bolts. If my truck gets any more suspension work or lift it will be with a SAS.The front IFS is just too week to support a bigger tire than what I am running right now.
