94 X lift questions

[NJoffroader]

hey guys im new here and i know how to use the search function before everyone jumps on me. I have a 94 x that i was planning a skyjacker 2" and a 2" bl on to run 32s, but my question is, if i were to get the 4" tough country, its like 440 with the rear blocks, which i know i cant use, but if i were to use the whole front suspension from the kit, and were to do a SOA, would that give me more than 4" in the rear? im trying to find a setup that will give me the 4" in the rear rather than spending another 250 on the 4" leaves from them. thanks

You couldn't have searched that hard...

Anyway, an SOA will give you roughly 5.5" of lift if your stock springs are not sagged. I put a Superlift 5.5" in the front of mine and it sit's low in the rear with the SOA, so it might not be that bad. A little bit of rake isn't a terrbile thing anyway.

The only other way to get 4" of lift is new springs...

I would just buy the kit, sell the blocks (or put them in the garbage where they belong) and see how bad the SOA really is. I bet you only have like 1" of rake at that most. You probably could get away with adding coil spacers to the 4" lift and still get it aligned. Steering's gonna be the only issue after that...

Yeah I figured the SOA would give me over 4", my truck sits level now, so I know the stock leafs aren't sagging that bad, plus the truck only has 60k on it. I'll probably end up going with the 2" susp and 2" BL, I don't want to get carried away with the truck since it's my DD and 4" susp would be the max I would do. Thanks for your help

If your truck sits level now, that means your rear springs are sagged. Most of these rigs come from the factory with a bit of rake (like an inch or more) to allow for passengers etc. I would be willing to bet with a 4" lift in the front and an SOA, she'd sit almost level.
