'95 XLT
I know this topic has probably already been posted before but I am too lazy to look back @ all those post for it. I have a 95 XLT 4x2 and I want to know the cheapest and easiest way to lift it 2"? I have heard some people saying to add a leaf in the back and raise the torsion bars up front, will that do it?? I don't want a getto lift, but I also can't afford to spend a lot of $$$$
 






You are right and there are tons of threads around here explaining exactly how to do it, the pros and cons of doingit, and pictures of rigs that have it. Run a search.

Tightening the torsion bars can give you almost 2 inches of lift in the front, and either add a leafs or Warrior Shackles can be used for the rear. The Warrior shackles are more popular, and easier to install.

2 inch body lifts are also cheap and relatively easy to do. Again, there are tons of threads on this as well. Run a search.
 






3 inch spindles are about $400.

You have a 4x2!!!!!!
This means you can jack up the torsion bars as far as you want. 4x4s can only get 2 inches because we have to worry about cv joint angles. You dont have any so you can go as high as you want to.

You can replace your torsion bar adjustment bolts for some longer ones that will raise it higher

2 inch shackles for rear are $50. I have this and air shocks (from autozone) that can get another 2 inches out of the rear.
