what to do with body lift

[bgoehring]

i have a 96 xlt with tt, rearched springs with 32s i like the look, but im craving a little more lift, what would you suggest a 2" bl or a 3" bl i want to keep my 32s because they are brand new, i just dont know if it would look good, or if my tires would look to small what do you think?

I plan to do a 2" BL and run 31" tires on my '96. But, it's your truck. I think the 2" BL with 32" tires would look good.

check out my truck in the before/after forum. I just installed my 3" lift on 32's last week. I was thinking that I might need 33's too, but I think it looks pretty good right now. I have tt/war/aal/3"bl. just got my 32's recently also, and was deciding on the 2" or 3". I decided to go with the 3", and if I ever wanted to drop it 1", I could just take out my aal. Tell me what you think ...I've been wondering if 32's really do look dinky on my ride...

Here is my truck with TT/AAL/Shackles and 32s

I decided to go with a 3" body lift because I wanted to run 33s after the 32s were worn or sold.

Here it is with TT/Shackles/AAL/3" BL and 32s

That looked fine, but after a while it was really starting to feel stock again. So I got some 33s (and new wheels)

So I say go with a 3" BL cause you'll probably want to run larger tires eventually!

I agree with section525, go with the 3" BL. You will be happy you did it.

i agree.. go with the 3".... i just put a 3" on my yota.... not that hard to do, just have to pay attention to the details like extending lines and such

thanks for the replies, how long do you think it should take to install a body lift

 

[section525]

Are you a V6? Probably about 8 hrs. Where in CA are you?

the links don't work if you click on them. You have to copy the url and paste into a new browser to view them. Unfortunately, geocities doesn't allow you to view images from outside domains.

I think I would look great, I have 2" TT, long shackles in the rear, and a 2" Body Lift. I´m rolling on 31s but I will install 32x11,5x15.
My only doubt is if I will have to trim a little
