try out the search function at the top of the screen. You must have literally just started to find a lift cause you will find all sorts of info on this site about lifts and where to buy em. try 4wheelparts your localoffroad shop or tire service center usually can order and install them. Welcome to the site

Also, this thread is for before/after photos, not tech questions. Try posting the question in the modified '95-'01 subforum or the lift kits/suspension subforum and you'll probably get some help. Or, use our search feature because there is about sixty gazillion discussions about that subject.... you'll get plenty of ideas.

Hope that helps.

heres mine as it sits for now.... TT and 31x11.50R15 Mastercraft Courser M/T on idk what 15x10 (i paid $60 total for the wheels they are straight and brand new so its all win for me). im going to do a 3 inch body lift after i find another steering shaft extender some how lost the one i had.... then on to some 33x12.50 dunlop mudrovers or mastercrafts again, possibly superswamper boggers if i decide to convert it to 4x4 with ranger stuff from a friend. right now its good for the trails i like taking to work nothing where 4x4 high or low is needed.

now the pics nothing special.

when it was lowered 5 inches.


how it sits now.
















now i need some opinions, should i get eddie bauer flairs with running boards? or leave it and just add some tubular nurf bars.. either way they are needed as per my girlfriend lol. and would rancho rs5000 shocks be fine, and when i get around to buying 33's should i go from 373 to 410?
