So you wanna lift your truck...

Re: So you wanna lift your truck...
daily driving / playing in the mud on weekends:
i think 6 inch suspension lift and 35's do the job perfectly. |
Re: So you wanna lift your truck...
Looking at 3.5 RE suspension lift for my TJ with some 33 inch mud terrains. Plan on mild/medium duty trail riding and driving on the beach in OBX.
Later down the road Skid plates and a tummy tuck Bumpers and winch gears and lockers How it sits now. Only had it a month so stuff should start happening soon. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e/HPIM0602.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...M0605-Copy.jpg |
Re: So you wanna lift your truck...
Daily driving/ light to medium trail riding. Very limited sand.
approx. 2" torsion bar lift in the front 2" add-a-leafs rear 1" body lift body seam flattened on the front and very limited trimming in the front 33x12.50-15 Truxxes MT stuff to the bump stops with no rubbing at full lock The truck went every where I cared to take it at Crozet. The #1 improvement as far as offroad performance that I did was the aussie locker. The truck goes places in 2wd with the locker that it wouldn't go in 4x4 with no locker. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...4/IMG_0474.jpg |
Re: So you wanna lift your truck...
Samurai here: daily driver but likes to get down once every now and then. Sees some mountain trails with semi steep climbs and some technical rocks. Also sees a good amount of deep mud.
SPring Over Axle lift with taller shackles and new leafs. 5.12 gears front and rear. 33x12.50 mud terrains. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...downsize_2.jpg If I could do it all over again I would have waited for YJ springs instead of getting the CJ's and would have gotten some tsl super swampers or something a little more agressive than the bfg muds. |
