the reason u cant go bigger is because the spring is mounted inside a strut... it can only handle so much resistance from the spring... if the spring was loose and not inside a strut, u could probably get more height... unfortunately, this is the 3rd gen's big issue with lifting... 2 and 3 inches looks great though... u wont be displeased

Is that when the wheels come in too then? Should look good!

 

[RoadBully]

I'm picking up the wheels this Saturday.
Hopefully getting them mounted and balanced Saturday as well, then after I install the springs, I'll slap on the new Rubber, so hopefully pictures will be posted Wednesday night.

im planning on ordering like 2.5" coil springs for my ex. however im already running a 265 on an 18x9 without rubbing. i think the lift will make it look alot meaner tho.

Finally got my lift in today, Love it!!!!
I told them stock ride stiffness, but they are defenatley stiffer, That's not a complaint, I think they're great.
I'd defenatley recommend coilspring specialties again.

Cheers


Ben.

Thanks.

First of all I want to thank RoadBully for making my X look like a piece of ****. Second, I don't think we have a lifted Gen 3 thread so I am putting my pics here. I decided to go with the Quick Lift kit on the front and replace the rear shocks with standard Ranchos. The ride is improved and I really like the leveled look even more than I thought I would. Now the fun begins as I decide what to do next. Any Ideas?

Since I was a bonehead and didn't take before and after pics here is one from back when I first got the new tires.
