Post by justin&narlah »

If you want big left go spring over. If only about 3-4'' and you have some $$$$

This would be a terrible kit to own , looking at it ,it has 11 rear leaves and 7 front leaves, you could only drive that on bitumin , just make sure you put your kidney belt on and dont ever drive offroad without having a chiropractor as a friend. :roll:

A better bolt on option would be 2 inch spring and 2 inch body lift. That will run 35 in tyres easy enough. A bit of trimming and bush panel work you could get 37's under there. It's a combination that works well (with lockers). Otherwise you have to look at spring over or coil spring/link conversions to get it working really good.
The worst part about being told you have Alzheimer's, is that it doesn't just happen once.

certainly agree with the first part of this post , otherwise you can also use anti inversion extended shackles to push the suspension side of it to 3.5 inch.
A spring over may catch you out in the future with legalities but no one knows for sure what is going on with DOT . ( extended shackles are also illegal but they are just bolt on, where a spring over is not that simple to just unbolt.
