That's a good looking truck man!!! I really like the look of it. I see you have a 95, so do I, so I am very interested, as others are I'm sure, in how you lifted it. A custom Rancho 2.5 inch lift?? Care to explian a little more about how it was done??

I've got a '95 too so I'm interested in the 'custom' Rancho lift. Give us some details.
BTW, that's one bad a$$ed ride!

 

[jeffseal]

it is the torsion twist up front and the rear kit fron the pre 95 2.5 inch lift. i made that website ALONG time ago before every one started calling it the torsion twist. i have had mine lifted for 4 years.

You got 2.5 inches of lift and 32x11.50s under it with just the torsion twist?? Nice. Also, what does the rear Rancho kit look like, how does it work to lift the back??

 

[jeffseal]

yeah mine was real low to start with it came with 225 70 r15's the rear ranch kit was just an add a leaf and new leaf clamps to hold the leafs together. pretty much the same as what everyone else here has done. it is cheaper to get a procomp addaleaf

 

[Stephen S]

That's cool, I'm considering the torsion lift and the pro comp add a leaf when it comes time for new tires. That's cool that you can fit the 32s under there, but I only have 3.27s so think I'm gonna go with 31s if I do the lift.

 

[jeffseal]

yeah i have the 3.27 also, i am going to chang it out SOON

 

[jimbo74]

nice truck

 

[Stephen S]

Hey Jeff, is your truck a 2 wheeler??
Also, how do the 3.27's act with the 32s?? I'm guessing if you're 2WD with 3.27's, the differential is also open, or do you have some sort of locker?

 

[jeffseal]

yeah it is a 2wd

 

[jeffseal]

no locker, it is not bad with the 3.27 but my transmission did just go out, but it was under warrenty. i am planning on regearing it soon

cool truck!

Man that is beautiful. I've got a 97 with the same stuff as you. How in the world did you get 32's under that? I had to do some cutting with a sawls all for my 31's. Anyway, bad truck man!

 

[jeffseal]

I had to do a little trimming but nothing huge just a little off the front airdam and took the running boards off.

Looks awesome. I have the same exact truck in 4x4. I did all of my mods at once, and I hope to post some before, during, and after pics soon. I did a Torsion Twist to the front. Warrior Shackles on the rear. K+N filter kit and a custom dual exhaust with a "Ravin" muffler. It sounds so sweet. I also added 31x10.50x15 BFG's. All done in one day. I did not look like the same truck when it came down off the lift. Your truck has a nice shine to it. Has it been painted? Looks great!

factory paint. i work at a detail shop it has been tefloned. it is called soaring eagle teflon it is the best stuff in the world! i have used zaino stuff and it blows it out of the water. only problem it is real expensive the detail shop charges 550 for a exploer. we mostly do real expensive cars with it. lambos ferraris bentlys you name it i have probably done it.

Did your transmission blow out because of the 32's? I have a 3.73 gear and i'm not planning on regearing so would you advise to get the 32's or 31's
