Sorry about the questions but i forgot to ask this in the other thread i asked, but if i did that conversion in the back and only put 2 inches in the front would i mess up my steering or anything?? And how bad would it look?? Cause right now i have a 3 inch body lift with 31 inch tires and my front is about an inch or more higher than the back. So would this work out any good do you think??

If you got spacers in the front, you'd need an alignment...shouldn't "mess up" your steering too much, but might make it a little bit harsher ride.

I'm not positive on this, but I think your plan there would make the rear sit higher than the front. I don't know much about body lift's, but I did a SOA in the rear by itself and it raised it about 5-6"
 






With it all worked out with math, the rear will be up about 5.5 inches and the front 2 inches plus the 1.5 inches already(for whatever reason it's higher in front) so the back will be about 2 inches higher which shouldn't be that bad but i don't know for sure.

Thanks

Two inches does noy seem like a lot, but once inside driving, you probably wouldn't like it. It would sit like a hotrod from the 70's. I would try a set of add a leaves first to level it, then go from there. Or maybe warrior shackles and spacers. From post I read here that seems to be a common thing if you are looking for an inexpensive lift.
