Lift ideas
 
5 Attachment(s)
Only posted a couple times on here and I've been doing alot of research and saving lately for a whole new drivetrain/suspension when I get back home in August. So here is what is in the works in a couple months. Already have
35's on there and want to go to 38's. Rear drive shaft is going to be a tricky one but I'll get it figured out some how.

1tons
FGB52's
ORD Rear Shackle Flip
Carb'd LQ4
ORD tuff country springs/Zero rates
Blazen offroad front bumper
Roll Cage

So here are some questions I have:

Anyone suggestions what springs to get front/rear. Rear has a 4in blocks and causes horrible axle wrap. Shackle flip will get rid of that.

Should i run the ORD Crossover or the high steer. Couldn't find anything for steering dampers with the high steer and since its so short already i don't want it wandering all over the road.

I want to take my rig on some trails later on but mostly just going to be camping/commuting most of the time. I threw away the pos soft top thats in the pics also so anyone have an extra hardtop thats not in great condition cause it obviously has to go to the fiberglass shop. Thanks Guys

I relocated the front shackles back 4'' and installed 8'' 73-87 superlift springs. My tires are 35'' Toyo MT's and i know I could clear 38's no prob!!

I am doing the same lift pretty much on my suburban the build thread is a couple below this. It's not that bad of an install. I like how you cut your front fenders.
