I have a 1996 Sport 4x4 with Automatic Tranny ... I would like to know what all my lift options are ... I am looking for good wheel travel, decent ground clearance with 31's and I don't want to buy new wheels, just tires. I have the stock 15" rims. Links to websites are greatly appriciated! Thanks a lot in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 






The best thing you could do is get the Old Man Emu leaf spring pack replacement. That will give you two inches of lift in the back and then you will have to "twist" up your torsion bars. Do a search on torsion twist and it will tell you all about it. As far as fitting 31's they will already fit you stock.
 






I realize that the 31's will already fit, but I am concerned with wheel travel and rubbing. If the OME springs will give more travel, that is great and probably what I will do ... Thanks for the info! Also, is there a website for OME or a phone number?

Trevor,
Check out my web page for some tire clearance pictures. 31's should fit fine.
Seth-Nice truck! I am jealous of your snow! Living in the desert, we don't see much snow anymore.
