to lift it .. it all depends on how high he whats to go.. i have 35mm rased king springs with 52mm longer shocks, no sway bars and a 1 inch body lift...

There is a 3 inch lift kit out there aval but will set him back like $2000

what springs and shocks do you have on, where'd you get the 52mm longer ones from?

i have raised kings and standard shocks but at full travel the spring is almost out. i reckon if i got another 2 inches of travel it would be completely loose. does yours come loose?

Well at full flex..my springs gets loose on its top seat but cant be pulled out..

I am going to be putting in 35mm coil spacers in to elimante the spring coming loose, Only thing is they arnt a shelf item, u have to get the measurment of the coil and get the coil spacers that will fit.. i had my car over at Climax suspention and he found on that fitted..
