Re: Pros and Cons of lift kits

My '83 has a 5" lift with 285/70-17's on it. Not a very big tire for the size of lift. Some days I want to go buy 35's. Other days I want to stay with the same tire size and drop down to a 3" ish lift. I have heard for a long time that a 4" lift is the threshold for not needing to lengthen your driveshafts. My drive shafts are not lengthened but need to be addressed. Thats why im thinking of going down an inch or two. Plus, it rides like a sherman tank as it is now! I cuss as I spill my coffee on myself or all over my dash too frequently!
