Spindles and body lift??

zman · 05-01-2002, 01:25 AM

Is anybody running spindlles and a body lift. i was just wondering about how the two would work together. i put spindles on about a month ago and feel the need to go higher. i figure i should do all the lifting before i get new tires( hopefully 35s). i think i can get them under my truck with very minor trimming it will be sitting about 7.5inches higher from the lifts.

Also a while back i remember seeing a tread about buying a body lift from somewheres (maybe desert rat?) which included all the proper steering and bumper brackets. does any one have info on this???? would be very helpful......

Yeah im waiting for my tax return so i can get the same setup. I dont know about 35s though, maybe with some major trimming. I only plan on running 32s, MAYBE 33s if i can stuff them in the rear fenders, as the only rear lift im going with is gonna be from the body lift.

Anyways on a side note, what gears are you going to run? My X has 3.55 in right now and im wondering if 4.10s would be over kill for 32s.

well i plan on stuffing at least 33s i have an add a leaf and shackles for the rear. i live about 30 minutes from the interco factory and they have a ramp. and they will let me test out the 35s and if too much trimmimg has to be done i will just go with 33s. but they also carry some 34s now.

i have the 3.27s with 31s right now and they are ok. not too much power. but great high way mileage. the 4.10s would give your truck alot of power...

i think i will go with 4.10s or 4.56s depends with the tire i decide to run. And w since i have to swap gears figure i might has well throw a traction device in there too save some money on labor
