Cheap Lift?
#6
Has anybody tried the "kit" with the spindles and the blocks? The 3 and 2 inch one? If I were to get that, how would the brake line and steering linkage be? I know the IFS don't flex much if at all, so I'm thinking my brake lines would be okay. What about driveshaft length and pinion angle? (I think that is what its called)

Yeah, thats what I've figured out. A body lift would suck because of my exhaust, I could deal with the hitch but my exhaust exits out the side... I could do the hitch mod then have someone run me some pipes out the back with bends to compensate for the lift. Idk what I want to do. I'm running 33 12.5 15s on my stock 2000 4x4 and only rubs in reverse at full lock to the right, not to the left... (scratches head) But I think if I go off road at all, it'll rub pretty good.

save up for a suspension lift...

Well, the tbar crank would make it ride like $hit and it would knock it all out of alignment. I'm not sure if I like the idea behind it. The rear is easy. I would like to save up for a real lift, but being in college and only working on the weekends, it makes it kinda hard. Maybe I should just let it go for a few years until I'm outta college. But it would be sweet to be lifted...

my bad, I didn't know he has 2wd with coils. I never sayed that it would fail with a t-bar crank, I just said it will break or fail at that extreme of an angle. As far as the drive shaft, looks like to me your only sitting with a 3" pu$$y body lift. You wouldn't know. I forgive you though, I guess when you live in a spanish speaking town and you only know english, then you wouldn't comprende' wtf is going on, amigo.
