1. Your best bet would be to find a used kit on the forum or through ebay. I bought a six inch kit a few years back for 300 and sold it for 200 a year later. There out there, jsut gotta wait for a good deal.

2. If your just looking for 6"s your best bet will be a SOA in the rear. This will give you around 6"s and cost 30 bucks. No need for new springs.

3. Shackles work, but IMO there fugly and with a SOA you shouldnt need them.

how is the soa when it comes to reliability ??

and could i just buy +6" coils with shocks for the front ?? if so hat would be super sick because my shops on contract with rubicon express and i get discounts for welding there parts !!! =)

with 6" of new lift will there be driveline balancing issues ??

will i need extended arms ? not sure exactly what they look like, but would they be easy to fabricate ?? i can almost literally make anything at work.

PS..thanks again for u guys helpin me, this site is fukn awesome !!!!

SOA is the BEST option for the rear when on a budget. Almost everyone runs SOA. As for just putting coils up front that wont work. Your gonna need the drop brackets for the ttb and the radious arms. As for the drivelines it just depends if its short or not.

 

[hardcore94]

drop brackets for the ttb huh ? well, not 100% what ttb means, and im guessin i can just buy drop brackets almost anywhere ? ot i can just amke then..we'll see
