I said to myself that I wouldn't go any higher and then I put my 33x12.5's on and saw that one major bump or pothole and i was looking at some serious body work! (Or much, much worse!) So I put them aside for now
I have a mixed lift Rough Country and Skyjacker with AAL 2 inch shackles and Spring Spacers. Long Stainless brake lines.. A combines lify between 5-5 1/2 inches. (closer to 5 now)
I have 32's on stock jeep rims..fenders are trimmed.. Even with the trimming i had to add 1 inch spacer up front and 2 inches in the back (to compensate for the 8.8 rear) I should be able to eliminate the front spacers (at least) with my new 15x8 (3.75 backspace wheels) and back the spacers down to 1 inch in the back.
I looked at a lot of threads and a great sticky or should be a stickey by someone who did a great s10 spring thing in his driveway I was going to build a bastard spring pack from 96 dakota 4x4, but i hear good and bad things about junkyard springs..mostly good. But my springs are tired and I don't want to put used on used. I want to go new, my preference.
So I figure 5.5 inch Springs and coils from someone..new shocks and bump stops. But from who or where. What else do I have to do besides springs and coils?
I knew once I started building that "super cipey d30" on my bench I'd wanna rip my whole rig apart. I lied to myself for about a week saying I would do it. But I can't help myself!
So what do ya think?
