Superlift
We think the Superlift crew had more competitors rooting for it than anyone else had. The Superlift kit came in as one of the cheapest in the running, but went out being one of the program's best performers. Perhaps the biggest attributes to the kit's performance came from Superlift's impressive air-impregnated bumpstops, which absorbed hard hits almost as well as a hydraulic bumpstop. The SSR shocks, which have got to be one of the cheapest upgrade options of any of the kits, performed beautifully and continued to absorb hits in the sand dunes without any noticeable shock fade. Overall the Superlift kit performed fantastically, and rightfully earned the respect of anyone who drove its truck. We knew Superlift was bound to place high in our little program. What we liked most was how much of a performer it was considering that its price was so low.
