I need at least 4-5 inches of lift on my X. If I were to order a Pro Comp 3" lift kit (with the MX6 shocks) would I be able to add AAL and Shackles and then do a TT up front for evening? Reason I'm asking is I don't know of anyone near the North Atlanta area that can do a SOA and I have some 35x12.50x15's with some 15x8 rock-c's collecting dust in my garage.

It's gonna be TOUGH to fit 35's with just 4 - 5 inches of lift. You're gonna have to trim a ton off your fenders. As for the lift, spindles will probably match up with AAL and shackles, maybe with just a slight tweak of your torsion bars. After that, you could do a 3" body lift and probably squeeze those 35's in there.
 






It'd be tough but I believe in you. lol
Yeah, go for it, you can always trim alot off your fenders.
 






With the Pro Comp 3" + the AAL and Shackles, I'd be what 5.5-6"?
 






you'd be at 3" with AAL and shackles and those 35s will rub a LOT. with a TT on the spindle lift, you'll need more than the AAL and shackles in the rear to even it out IMO.

i'd help with an SOA but i'm in the middle of an axle swap right now that is taking up my spare time plus some. if you can wait.. i'll help when i'm done.
 






I'd like that very much, send me a PM on AIm at YettiCrush. I'd love to at least get the gist of what I need to order if anything and how long the process of doing a SOA takes.
 






Really what you should do, especially if you want it to be all suspension, is have somebody weld spring perches for the SOA, put the spindles on, then do a TT to level it all out. Or you could do spindles and TT in the front and do double AAL and shackles, but I've heard that makes for a very stiff ride.
 






A guy on here(maybe more) is running the superlift 4" with 3" body I think with SOA and a 1" TT and still had to trim
 






Trimming wont be a problem as long as I get enough ground clearance to get over obstacles and have enough verticle well space. I plan on doign alot of trimming followed by some body work and a new paint job so, not worried there.

But I can buy 2 AAL sets and 2 SHackles sets? At least untill I can get the time to do the SOA.
 






they should fit, i know a guy who fit 35s with a body lift, tt, and shackles. he had to trim something like 1/8 off the liner
 






Its going to ride like crap with the t bars maxed out and a rough country lift. :) Just FYI.

If you just want to fit the 35's look at the torsion twist and body lift and trimming.
Also if nobody there can do a SOA then you are in trouble because its the easiest lift there is!! :)
