suspention and tt

[unabonked]

i'm finally looking at lifting my baby this summer. I looked around and fell in love with the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain 31s I have 1.75" Spacers on my rear to fill out my Finder flares. I could like to keep these. For the rear i plan on a 2" lift from warrior shackels... Is this about what i should expect?

Now on to the front... I don;t plan on anything special, just a TT. Will this kill 1. the suspention travel and 2. the ride quality? although i drive it offroad quite a bit, its still my daily driver and i need this to be drivavble on highway. Also, how much hight should i get out a TT? i need them to clear 31x10s

Just a question about your wheel spacers? Do you have a pic of them? Are they just to make the rear tires stick out as much as the front? Where did you get them?

You will not have nearly as much down travel depending on how far you crank them up. You also have to be careful not to go up too high so that parts do not bind in the front end. Since i did my TT, i think my ride quality has improved, i like the stiffer front end and it makes it more responsive in my opinion. If I were you I would go high enough to keep the tires from rubbing but dont try for anymore than 1.75 inches at most...good luck.

To get to that 1.75" what is the starting point. How high from ground to fenderwell is stock height?

i'm not sure. i may just be able to fit the mud-terrains in with 1" of lift. i have the bog fender flares which i understand tend to get in the way. I'm running 16x7 teardrop rims that came with the premium package. i see no use in changing these.

i just want somthing that won't rub against somthing else while turning over a bump.

Unabonked.. the shackles probably won't give you two inches. If your rear end is sagging at all you may want to do shackles and aals.

no sag, i rebuilt my rear suspention last year with leaf packs. the rear hight is the same as the front. what is aals?

Add-a-leaf...they are basically a helper spring..you get about an inch out of them and they cost about 30 bucks ( if i remember right) form 4 wheel parts, they are made by pro-comp.
