exterior. should i lift and get tires? or buy a brush guard and 31' ATs? price wise should be the same but if i go with the guard and 31's there is a chance my parents will pay for the tires. if i buy 32's or 33's after the lift i have to buy em by myself.

 

[FROADER]

But then you'll have 31s and a brush guard... Is there brush that you'll be going through where you live?

My choice is tires and lift.

 

[P Mark]

i go through alot of brush in the summer time at the camp i work at and there is brush no matter where you whell in alabama but i am leaning towards the lift and tires

 

[FROADER]

I'm not a fan of brush guards, but that's obviously a personal choice. Maybe this will help make your decision?

No lift, 31s and a brush guard.

Tires and life.

Your bumper will take the brush just fine.

it seems the poll is leaning that way anyway the lift does look nicer

 

[P Mark]

as it sits right now...

side view...
which would look better on that?

 

[mynameisaric]

Thats EXACTLY what mine looked like when i got it.....

2" BL, TT, shackles and some 33" tires. spent some time under the welding hood fabbing my own brush guard/high lift point, and replaced alot of CV shafts and broken mirrors, and now it looks like this.

 

[P Mark]

thats actually pretty cool hahaha....im surprised no one mentioned anything about the mizzou license plate hahaha

lift now, brush later. if you wait around and patiently look you can pick up a used brush guard for cheap. i found a WAAG brush guard for my 97 in the local paper for $100. or fab one up yourself.

 

[P Mark]

you have a good point there...

 

[Four0Sport]

the more patient you are the less money youll spend

 

[P Mark]

good point...once again hahahah well thanks hopefully i'll get a lift kit soon

 

[P Mark]

actually i think if everyone on here sent me $1 then i could easily buy the lift kit hahaha

 

[mynameisaric]

i vote tt, shackles and 32's. throw an aussie in the rear when you get the funds. if i did it again, thats what i'd do. forget the body lift, if you ever have really BIG plans one day, you'll regret the body lift, especially if you put it in with red locktite.

 

[P Mark]

the only problem i heard with the tt and shackle is you have to get the alignment checked aafter doing the lift....

 

[Four0Sport]

you need to get an alignment after doing any kind of 'suspension' lift.

 

[P Mark]

ok thats good to know haha

 

[P Mark]

so your saying no body lift tt and shackles first? is tt easier or just you can do more with it?

bump

ok, i have this friend that aparently makes steel bumpers and guards, he said he would make me one if i help him he said it'll be for free... that will cost nothing... should i wait till i have 800 or so dollars for lift and tires or get the bumper and guard now and look for another good deal like this one for a lift and tires
