cheap lifts and tires

[cisurfer]

i have 2" lift shackles and i cranked the torsion bars on my 99 sport. i want to fit 285/75/16 on it. im think about gettin wheel spacers. what woudl be the cheapest way to lift it higher if i need to, to fit these babys...im not too keen about body lifts.

for the rear end...swap in 4-door leafs....the front super lift...rcd kit, trailmaster...( but those are really expensive 1500+).......the cheapest option would be a BL.

Your still gonna rub without major trimming around the fenders unless you go with a body lift or a 4" suspension lift. A 285/75/16 is roughly 32.8" tall, without trimming the backside of the fenders, you rub when turning. Since you have a 99 sport, definately get B rated T-bars and possibly 4 door add a leafs. The B rated is the heavy duty version and you should have monoleafs unless you already did the swap. You could consider a body lift. The 2 inch kit would not require bumper relocation or a steering extension. Another option is to get the 4" suspension lift bu if your on a budget that may be tough.

would the 2 inch kit need like radiator relocation and other **** liek that

 

[explorermatt001]

if you get the 4 inch kit it will be a drop bracket, so nothing will move except for the torsion bars and the differential

im talking about a 2inch body lift

and whatt is a rcd lift

rcd is just a company that makes a lift kit. Most economical lift in my opinion is a torsion twist/shackle suspension, and 2" body lift. I don't like body lifts either, they pretty much do nothing except give you room to stuff a bigger tire and that can be accomplished with trimming.

If you want more than 2"s suspension your only real option is a lift kit (very pricey), or sas which can be less (like i my case)...but usually is much much more

I might have missed something, but if your sport is a 2wd, do a spindle lift on the front with either a add-a-leaf and shackle or an soa on the back. but thats only if you have a 2wd.
