need a few ideas

[sdoo500]

just picked up a 99 eddie bauer black with the tan trim. like it alot so far especially the power. coming from cars and dont know too much about lifts or anything. jus want some ideas on making the ruck look a little better weather it be a small lift or anything. my only concern with a lift is i do alot of driving so it needs to still be decent on the road

thanks

What kind of suspension do you like?

Do you like the ride to be like floating on a cloud or do you want the ride to be hard and sporty.

i do not want it too be very soft i prefer a somewhat stiff ride but dont want to hit a pothole and have everyone in the car complaining....if that makes sense lol

I did a torsion spring twist to lift my X 1.5 inches in front. This will change the angel the lower arm makes with the ground, giving the wheel less mechanical advantage over the spring. (making ride harder) (do a search lots of threads)

In the back i used leave springs from an f-150 (really stiff). People in the back seat complain about speed bumps and large pot holes. i also used larger shackles. i have 3 or more inches of lift in the back. you could do an add-a-leaf it will make the ride harder but not f-150 hard.
