1998 Merc mountaineer lift kit

[Kaimana808]

Hey guys I’ve looked at quite a few threads and haven’t really found my answer. But has anyone used the truxxx.com 3” lift kit? Part number is #101055.
And if so what shocks are you running, what size tires and wheels and should I do anything else with it or may I need additional parts (steering extensions or anything else I may not think of)?
I would like to run 30s or 31s, if needed I’d add a 1” body lift as well. Any help would be nice and appreciated! Or if there’s other kits with a comparable price give or take $100-$200 I’m open to options.

98 mounty can run a 1.5-2" torsion twist lift, 3" is not happening and even a 2" rise will really hurt the ride

Body lift is a good option

30" tires are pretty much stock size on these trucks
31" can fit with a torsion twist

What I would do is 1.5" torsion twist up front
2" lift shackles in the rear
consider a 1-2" body lift and run some nice 31's

What lift shackles would work and what would I need for the torsion?

I'm guessing your 4x4? If so You can get torsion key's everywhere. google it. If youre 2wd the spindle lift if the way to go.

Easy peasy then. Get some 4" max trac sprindles on ebay. They increase suspension ride height, look and handle great.
