When I get my taxes this coming year.....I would like to lift my X I think....

I am wondering if you guys can toss out some options for me...

I'm wanting quite a large lift....without all the huge costs....I have 4wd so here is what I am wanting to do...

I want to fit at least a 32" tire without trimming....I know I can do the TT/shackles for almost noting and that will give me 2" I don't want to prematurely wear out the CV joints or anything else....I am just looking for opinions and options of what I can do....I am estimating at least 1900$ in tax return money because I have been in school.....but I also have to start paying back my student loan in March '03 so I will most likely spend almost $1000 on that to start out.....

Any help is appreciated.....
 






There is a guy buy the name of Gage on here he has a 4 in trailmaster suspension lift he is selling. They usually sell for 1500 bux new I think he is selling it for 800 900 bux. Thats the way to go.

I've heard bad things about the late model 4" suspension kits. The manufacturers themselves say the kits are mainly for looks and may not hold up to going offroad. Many people have broken parts on these.

I recommend the 2" TT/War lift and a 2-3" body lift. I usually don't recommend bl's over suspension lifts, but I think it'll work better for you in this case. 32"s should fit without a problem, may be able to fit 33"s with the 3" bl. Also, it'll most likely end up being cheaper.
