Are there any major advantages of a suspension lift over body. I am thinking about getting a 2 or 3 inch body lift and 31 or 32 inch tires on a '92 4-door. Also, does anybody have a pic of a 91-94 with a similar lift an tires? One more thing- Has anybody used retreaded tires? Im thinking about getting them because im low on cash and $200 a set beats the hell out of $500.
 






Well, a body lift is cheap and some say it's better because it doesn't lift the center of gravity as much as a suspension lift. I don't know if it's much of a difference. But a suspension lift is usually better for wheelin' because of the added wheel travel and articulation. But if you're going for cheap, and it sounds like you are then the body lift is for you. Beware of the bumper relocation brackets in this kit. Most people complain that they need a lot of modification.
