2 inch lift?

[IAmTodd]

Ok guys, i'm bored, tired, and sick, and also curious. I'm not real sure i should put it under suspension, but move it if necessary. I've been thinking about a 2 inch lift lately, but i only have 30" tires, so i thought it might look a little dumb. AND I WANT YOUR OPINION!

Before, stock hieghth:
(sorry about the quality, its dark outside and thats in our garage.)

 

[IAmTodd]

And here is the after. Sorry about the jack, i didn't know how to do it any other way.

 

[RFR2212]

so lift it more and call it good enough, where's the problem?

 

[IAmTodd]

I just don't want it too look stupid with little tires. So i came to u guys for advice if it would look stupid or not, In you opinions.

 

[RFR2212]

Dude you've been here for almost a year... you should know what goes, and what doesnt!

 

[IAmTodd]

OK, i'm not getting what your saying, i'm only asking for an opinion!

Doesn't look stupid. Make it happen!

I think i'm gonna go for it. I just need the money for the 4-door leafs. My dad doesn't think its a very good idea(he just doesn't want me to wheel ) but hey, he had a jeep when he was younger and he went wheeling, so y should i have to be left out?

Muskrat- Good things take time!

 

[IAmTodd]

Good news! i'm gonna search the junk yards next week for spring And i'm allowd to do it if i can track down an alignment shop that can do lifter vehicles. Should that be a problem? Another stupid question that can probably be found by using the search button, Would i be alrite running stock shocks for now?

 

[Muskrat]

stock shocks are fine, crank the torsion bars all the way up, and then back off 2 turns, just about right, I may have springs, but I won't know for a few days, if you can't find them. you may need lift shackels for the back, but other than that, it's all good. I liked the way Namitey's truck rides with the lift, stiffens it up a bit

 

[IAmTodd]

Sorry, i left out the shackles, I fugured i'd need those too. I'm planning on(cross your fingers) making the Pargon run on June 2(that right?) so i figure that should help a little bit, but i'm not sure if i wanna take mine, i might just ride along....hmmm

 

[Muskrat]

I don't know when the runs are, I just keep checking in, until it's time. But I think that sounds right, thats the weekend of the All Ford Nat's at Carlisle (open to everyone), so I think that's right. My turuck should be good to go by then, and will be shown at Carlisle. BTW, if you plan on doing any decent wheeling, pull the step bars off, they will do more harm then good if you find yourself on a rock

looks great!

 

[IAmTodd]

Carlisle....thats it! i'm hoping to show mine too(although its nothing special like urs ) I thought that those step bars might provide protection, but if you think its better to take them off....off they go

 

[Muskrat]

if they are the ones that mount to the body, which I think they are, they will just get caught on lower obstacles, and tweak the body, but if the attach to the frame, they are probably ok.

hey, there is nothing special about my truck, I just lack sanity

 

[Digger196]

what's stupid is having the TT and shackles and have like 6" of space from the top of the wheel well to the top of the tire like i had while i was saving for the 32's. 30's will look just fine. GO FOR IT!

 

[Explorer_5.0]

hey, im going to Carlisle for the All Trucks Nationals!!

 

[BTRs X]

I think it will look great......Im in the process of coils/shackles and 31x10.50s hopefully it will look that good........go for it!

 

[Muskrat]

good, we want to get as many X's (Rangers) there as possible, look for the thread in the club runs forum
