    2" PA Body Lift troubles

    I already have a 2.5" sus lift, and want to go bigger....The only problem is i wanted to do spacer/shackles but i would need TTB drop brackets. And those arent too cheap. I changed my mind to a body lift so it would be less costly, and less dickin around. Ive heard bad things about body lifts...

    Coil Spacers/ Shackles

    Alright, that is good news. How do i know what size of drop to get? Would it be 4.5", since that will be my total lift. Or 2" since that is the lift i am adding. My alignment is great now, just pulls to right sometimes. Also, what about all these extened arms, like piman arm, radius arm, a...

    most wallet friendly way to lift the front of a 1993 xlt

    That Skyjacker lift is nice, i have it and with 32's i have 4.5" of total lift. Fairly straight forward too, coils and add a leafs. I recommend it!

    anybody use those shackles they sell at advanced auto??

    Theres no chance in hell you are gonna fit 35x15.5x15's with only 3" of lift. I have a '93 w/ 2.5- 3" of lift, and rub a little with 32x11.5x15's. Unless u dont want to turn at all, they arent gonna fit.

    Coil Spacers/ Shackles

    I already have a 3" skyjacker lift w/ new coils and add a leafs. I need more lift so tires dont rub @ full turn. Would this be a good thing to do? If not, what would be another good way to get some small lift, dont really want to get a body lift..... thanks

    skyjacker 1.5"-2.0"

    It was a wise choice of you to go with the 32''s. I just have 2 questions, how wide are they, and what year of x do u have?. my 32's are 11.5 wide and a 1993. I only had to trim the front rocker panel piece, that is about 6" long. Just take it off, and cut most of the side that faces the...

    skyjacker 1.5"-2.0"

    I have the same lift I have the exact same lift. All It was was 2 new coils, and 2 add a leafs. I needed 2 front shocks, because the stock ones were maxing out. I also needed new brake lines, so at full aticulation they wouldnt snap. I am sixteen too, and went through the same thing that...
