Yeah, I am debating whether or not to lift it. If I keep it lowered I want to paint that stupid grey cladding, which would be the most expensive thing on my truck, and finding someone to do it is a PITA also. Everything has to be so difficult with these model of sports. If anyone has any eurotails I would be interested or any parts for an 01 sport.

how much lift are you looking to do?
 






I bought a 3" body lift from cybergasm. Then probably doing TT, AAL and shackles. So whatever that gets me.

Is your ex lifted? if so how did you lift it?

-Rich
 






not right now this weekdn im doing shackes and TT
 






nice where did you buy your shackles?

im using the auto zone cheapies. then ill drill them out to 9/16ths i also buying new grade 8 bolts and welding in a cross peice to beef them up a little. But you can buy war-153's from dessert rat or tellico4x4 for around 60 bucks....mine were 15(but they are very beffy...just no cross piece).

I was thinking of getting the ones at autozone too. Do you know what part number they are? Also I think on one of the post I saw they said you could bolt a piece of 3/4" pipe for a cross piece? Also why do you need to drill them out and use grade 8 bolts?

I can make you a deal on some 32's, shackles, and safari rack:)
 






you drill them out becasue the diameter for the holes is to narrow...they need to be the stock size you use grade 8 bolts because...they wont break...im not sure on the part# i just saw them there and grabbed them they are with the rest of the lift and towing stuff......im not sure how you would bolot a 3/8 pipe across.
