I was browsing Heckethorn's Website and came across this page:
http://rough.roughcountry.com/RC%20Web/83-03%20S-10.htm
Looks like they have a 2" and a 6" in the works. From what I understand they sell only Rough Country products, so it's not the superlift 2" or 6".
Anyways, I know somebody posts like every other day about a new lift coming out. I just saw this and thought I'd post a link for anyone intersted.
Thanks!

I don't really know about the 2" lift. I'm wondering if they use the same method as the 2" superlift version, if so, you don't want it. Maybe Brule or Hobie could take a glance and tell us if it'd be a decent choice?
Thanks!

That 2" suspension lift has the same drawbacks as all the others ... severe angles for the CV's.

Exactly the clarification I was looking for
That definitely rules out the 2" for me

But what about the 6" lift? Is it out already? That is the one I was refering to in my original post.
