I have a 91 4 door exploder that I am going to do a SOA in the rear to. From what I understand this will give me good 6" or rear lift, what I need help with, is what is going to be the cheapest way to lift the front to match the back??? 4" coils up front with a torsion twist? would that give me enough lift up front? I dont want it to look raked... what about the 5.5" superlift up front and a bit of a mild torsion twist? and what parts do I actually need for the lift up front, I can weld anything that needs to be. Im trying to do this on a very tight budget since Im on disability. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!
I dont want a body lift or a sloped bodylift.

good to know...lol

would 4" coils with 2 inch coil spacers work well, and what else would I have to change? do I need to do brake lines? axle? stering arm or anything like that for a 6" lift?
thanks
 






You'll need all the drop brackets, longer brake lines, steering arm. Be better off just getting the whole superlift 5.5" lift. 2" is about all you can get on the front with out all the additional stuff. Just need new alignment cams.

You could also do a 3" body lift & leave the suspension alone.
 






thanks for the reply, I would prefer not to use a body lift as I dont like the look of the frame hanging down. Also I will be running 33x13.5x15 LTB swampers so I figure I will need a good 5.5"-6" or lift to clear them. If I run a 6" SOA in the rear and a 5.5" superlift up front, can I use a coil spacer to level out the front because I dont want it to look raked....
 






Each X is different with the SOA. Some do get 6" out of it, some get 5.5.
