Tips on small lift for 91 EB, have searched

[elvisjer@]

So once again I ask a rather noob question, but i HAVE searched. I went off roading in WA near MT Ranier this weekend on old overgrown logging trails--have pics and vid--it was AWESOME, but i blew a tire and blew another tire on the way back home. I stopped at the gas station closest to me with a tire shop and purchased some 30" Falken tires. They are decent, but since i needed two tires i just got four for $440. On the trail i could have used about 2-4" more lift and would have been perfect as the bottom rubbed a few times. Money is precious to me as I am a college student and now am wondering what kind of lift would be better for me since i now have 30" tires? I wanted bigger but everything else rubbed. If the install doesn't require much intense install such as cutting welding etc i will be doing it myself.

Welcome to the site. Did you by chance look thru Shocks, Suspensions, and Lift Kits forum, http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=10. Also do a search on F-150 coil spacers.

Cheap lift for a first gen would be f150 coils spacers in front and add a leaf and warrior shackles in the rear. All parts can be purchased for less then $150. Use the search for budget lift, war 153, add a leaf or coil spacers and you should find all the info you need. Good luck.

As said above, the cheap lifts are;
suspension lift=F150 spacers under the front coil springs and a combination of 'Add a Leaf' leaf spring and Warrior shackles

Body lift, 2" or 3".

OR a combination of both.

Dreamr is VERY near you, I'm sure he'd be willing to help when the time comes, as would I.

If you are interested in some 'no body damage' trail running, keep your eyes on the NWX forum. Dreamr and I have been going East of the mountains, North of Cle Elum http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136138

If you are really brave, you can play with jrgaylor up at Evans Creek on the NW corner of Mt Rainier, on the road to Mowich Lake; http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138953
