Budget Boost

This is my 91EX with no lift and stuffed in 32x11.50's on stock wheels



And here after the Boost.
12 5/8 washers on each coil retainer bolt, with a 1inch tubing spacer under the seat.
All the leafs in rear but the main leafs swapped out for all but the main leafs from a half-ton chevy p/u rears.

Looks good. Have any better shots of the back bumper?

Sorry, but I can't keep it on level ground long enough to get a flat shot.


If you have waited to do this cause you want to go bigger eventually. Do it anyway!!!

I was welded in the rear and still hanging up everywhere, those 1.5front and 2in rear inches that I got from the boost made my X a whole new rig to wheel. Almost to the point of not wanting to lift it more for a while.

I went from just MAKING IT down our trails to getting to play around and try different lines. Way more fun

BTW I really F*%#ed-up my doors in those ditches

Cool, I like the tube work. Guess you gotta change that signature now.

That's what we all say. Until one day, you realize you're broke (even more than before :p) and have 6" of lift.

The tube work is awesome! I really like those bumpers you made.
