    body lift questions

    I used a 3 inch kit from a 91 ranger short box and had 2 left over, as for bolts good luck with that I made my own by threading the ends of some rod and machining a head on the other end, but that was because it would have taken me to long to have bought the right length and have them shipped...

    add-a-leaf? SOA? or 4 inch lift leafs?

    soa I have a 91 four door with the stock rear leaves, I done the spring over axle swap and it works pretty good for me. It was cheap, I could use the original springs and had longer shocks laying around, also swapped spring pads side to side. I had built a die one time to stamp leaf spring...

    I have been searching all the info I can on building a doubler. I have gotten quite a few ideas. however I havent found to many people talking about reliability both on the trail and on the road, how did you build your output shaft, and any heat treating you done to it, how it has held up? Is...
