Correction:
I just called Skyjacker again and spoke with a different rep. I decided to ask him the same question to see if the answer would be consistent. Sure enough, the answer was different this time. He said that diesel vehicles would get 4. 5" of lift and that the replacement leaf springs would lift the rear of the truck 3. 5". This is consistent with what is on the Rocky Mountain website.
I called to ask about when the dual tube traction bars would be out, and he said that they're working on it, but he didn't have a release date yet.
I called a local 4x4 shop in my area and they could actually get me the Skyjacker kit I want for almost $300 cheaper than what I found at a couple of online retailers. I was surprised.

Were the Helo's pricey? I like the look of those wheels.
For what it's worth, I called Skyjacker to ask just how much they lift the truck as there was a 4" and a 5" lift listed on their website . I was curious because of what is on Rocky Mountain's website . RM says that Diesels are lifted 4. 5" while gas trucks get 5". Skyjacker shows no 4. 5" lift.
I was told by Skyjacker that the front of the truck is lifted 5 inches and that the rear was lifted 4". I didn't think they would lift the rear that much because most other lifts level the truck which means that the rear would be lifted 3". I personally would like the back of the truck to be one inch higher than the rear which makes this kit perfect for me.
Has anyone actually installed the Skyjacker kit with the replacement leaf springs that can verify this?
