Thanks for the info!
I am right now researching which way to go and what kit to buy to lift my Xploder to fit 33's.
Looks like the Superlift option and body kit, etc that you listed here would raise it up about 8inches and cost about $1,000 not including labor. I am not sure I have the technical skills needed to do a Spring Over Axle anything hahaha.
For us newbies would it be better and less expensive to just buy 2inch $20 Shackles at AutoZone, and do a 2inch front Torsion Twist, then buy a 3inch Body Lift Kit $150.00 to raise it about 5inches for less than $200-$250 not including labor?
It looks like the difference in cost is about $750 to $800 with a height difference of only 3 inches.
What do you more experienced Wheelers think?
body lift gives you no more ground clearence and will expose the frame rails more in my opinion its pointless i would save and do a real lift
The body lift gives you more room for bigger tires. Bigger tires give you more clearance. That's the point.
A suspension lift just drops the suspension down and doesn't give you more clearance either so, by your logic, is pointless too.
An aftermarket torsion key does the same thing that a "TT" does. Waste of money.
I'd recommend getting the long add-a-leaf (I don't often see it mentioned, but there is a short version and long version), and the TT obviously because it's free. With the long add-a-leaf you shouldn't need extended shackles to match the TT.
There is an option for Long or Shirt in that kit and I was thinking the long too because wouldn't it not only help raise the most but also increase the payload or towing ever so slightly versus the short?
Also you say just do the TT versus getting the Torsion keys because it's free? Is there any benefit to do go with the keys versus the twist?

Sorry MT but this is true.
