Lift Research
So, I'm thinkning about a new project and would like some input on what yo guys are running for lifts, what tire size you can fit with it and how high your sill plate is.
For starters here's what I've imagined: Front: 1.5" shackle 6" spring Rear: Shackle flip for 4" using the front spring mount from the rear spring 3" spring or block probably a block for now and a spring when the $$ rolls in I also plan on installing a 3" body lift. Here another idea I had: Build a custom spring mount for the front of the front spring to get another 2" and only use a 4" spring in the front. I'm trying to preserve some of the ride quality which is why I'm not just tossing in a set of springs and calling it good. I'd also like to see any pics you guys have. I've never been real crazy about body lifts as they tend to leav a bunch of crap hanging out in the breeze, but I think it's going to be the best way to fit a little more tire and keep some ride.
