2" or 3" Body lift?

[metstalker]

i did it right, and in my fathers barn... with very little experience working on cars in general and it took me only a couple days ( christmass break, too cold to work most of the day)
ive experienced no excessive lean or roll... and it looks awesome

thanks for all the replies i will probably go with the springs and shackels as of right now. now 2in springs will put me 2in higher then i am now? or 2 in higher then when the springs werent compressed from 140k on the odometer? thanks for the help keep it coming.

"or 2 in higher then when the springs werent compressed from 140k on the odometer?"

yep, technically it might be a 3.5 in lift! depending on how far your stock springs have sagged

after i did my body lift, i noticed 32"s rubbed like a byotch (only on the driverside?)

i got new coil springs and the thing actually looked lifted for once haha! my springs had sagged by over 2"

Get a suspension lift then if you want more get the 2in body lift

Now thats a good sugestion.

Bear in mind the cost of the suspension lift isnt just the cost of the parts. Be ready to shell out some cash for an alignment. anywhere from 70 bucks or more. And if you need new camber shims (verry possible) you are in even more money.

STFU. There's a difference when talking about putting a body lift on a 1st gen or 2nd gen. 2nd gen's seem to hide them better.

That's what the little cover up flaps are for!
