6" Lift for 93X

[Chew_12]

Ok, I have been researching a lot about ....blah blah blah.

Anyway my question is I need to use my X for driving between two cities, about 120 miles away. I do this about every 2 weeks. 240 round trip. I want a 6 inch lift, but will this make it extremely hard to drive? The trip has a few curves but not that bad. I also use this everyday. Would it be fine if i got a 6" or would it just destroy my car?

Another Q : Should i get a 5.5 Super Lift kit OR 6 SkyJacker for the front and something other thats 6 inch in the back? (How else could i raise the back?)

Thanks all

What I am doing is 6 inch skyjacker in the front, and I went with 4 inch springs in rear with warrior shackles, that way I did not have to deal with the spring over. I installed a 6 inch class II for a friend, and his rides really well, you shouldn't have any on road issues.

Umm, look in bluedemons post, I just went thru it all, if I missed something than post here, and I will try to answer.

 

[bluedemon]

i see

so if i go with a 600 6" stage one skyjacker lift plus 350 for rear springs plus 75 for warrior shackles
im set with a 6 inch lift
i think i just decided what im going to do and i dont have to worry about welding

are extended radius arms that big of deal for someone who isnt a hardcore offroader?

are rear springs hard to put on?

 

[X-1]

Rear springs, piece of cake, as far as radius arms, they give about 30% more articulation, but if you still have the swaybar attached it will cancel out, I would like them eventually, but for light off roading no big deal. They do look cool though

stage 1

stage one does not include shocks correct?

and i could get those for like 50 bucks a piece right?

 

[Chew_12]

Yea and whats the difference with the stage 1 and 2?

 

[bluedemon]

1 vs. 2

stage 2 includes extended radius arms and shocks

stage one does not.

i could be wrong but i think stage 2 comes with pitman arms and one doesnt

 

[Chew_12]

how much is stage 2 just for the front?

 

[X-1]

Shocks are under 50 a piece, hydro's are 30 bucks, nitro's are like 35 apiece. noy included with class I.

Stage two includes extended radius arms and mounts, these are I think 13 inches longer, and mount where your transmisson mount is. it also includes shocks, front and rear, and pittman arm, which is 75 bucks more in the class I kit. I have the class I and it is actually an easier install than the class II, like I said earlier, you can always add the arms later for 500

 

[X-1]

Class II is about 1200

 

[Chew_12]

Thanks for all the info, One more q what shocks do they come with?

 

[X-1]

They come with the hydro, or oil filled shocks, you can upgrade to the nitro's, which are gas shocks

 

[bluedemon]

one more thing

will i need a driveshaft extension with 4" springs and 1.5" warrior shackles?

im pretty sure i need brake line extensions, right?

 

[X-1]

Drive shaft will be okay, yes on the brake lines.

 

[bluedemon]

..

sorry for asking so many questions...
how much will the brake line extensions cost?

 

[X-1]

No problem, you are helping me get to 1100 post , the fronts are 90 bucks for the pair, and the rear about 40
