Suspension lifts.. everyone experiences..

I'd like to know what everyone has to say about there suspension lifts. How it rides, handles large dips or heaves in the road, how it's effected load carrying ability and towing ability. Include your tire type and size and shock set up and of course yr and model.

The reason I ask is my 04.5 with skyjackers 2.5 lift which includes front springs, control arms, and rear add-a-leaf is the worst set-up i can imagine. now my control arm bushings are worn out at 10k and skyjacker told me to get bent and they wouldn't even sell them to me.. I've gotta go through a dealer. I live in AK and when I bomb over a frost heave the front loads up the face and dumps off the otherside and It feels like it gonna slam my axle out the bottom of the truck..
