    Suspension lift

    Hello long time since I posted!!!

    I know this topic has been covered before but........ I need a little advice.

    I want to get a decent lift on the truck and intend doing it myself. But I have a few questions.
    1. I want to get it as high as possible mixing body and suspension lift I don't mind having to do some mod's to get it high but hey need practically possible to be done a drive and the vehicle can't be off the road too long
    2. Cost of the various options ie buying a kit vs Making it up yourself

    Sorry I know I'm asking for alot of info and I know its all here in different threads just someone might be able to give me an overview on my options in one thread.

    Thanks for any assistance.

    Oops forgot to mention it's 2.4 and was wondering on effects on performance too. Thanks

      rich dont mean to be rude,but the sidesteps are still on in that pic.
      mine is nearly the same as richards but with these changes.(hey rich there nearly twins)
      3" bodylift
      +3 es 90000s
      adjustable panhard rod
      33x12.5x15 tyres.
      the body lift shouldnt take you any longer than a couple of hours and the front and rear suspension lift about the same,so it could all be done over a wkend.i cant comment on the performance for obvious reasons but a body lift and suspension lift wont effect the performance anyway.

              Three of those hours were spent trying to remove sheared bolts though, weren't they?
