This is from a guy on s10 forum with the kit installed

before lift

After lift

Keep in mind this is on stock 235/75/R15s not 31x10.5 it will add a little over another inch of lift when added.

This is the cv angle with the front end lifted to rough countrys recommended height.

CV angle doesn't seem too bad.

wow I thought the rough country lift would do more then that.... once you do this lift can you squeeze out a bit more lift out of it with a tbar crank or is there any other tricks?

CV angles look good though. Almost straighter than stock.

Just think the axles should be straighter than that though. He also had said the differential drop dident do much at all and that was the selling point in my opinion because without it its not much then anyone putting in shackles, add a leafs and a tbar crank

Yeah...my cv's aren't that straight. I don't know what this guy did to get them that way.

maybe i thought that the difference will be much more, i think iŽll crank the t-bars and add shackles at the back, and buy only the superlift A-arms in synergyoffroad.com to avoid wear and tear of the CV

Guys its only designed as a 2 inch lift, its not a 5 inch cradle that drops the front diff way down. There isn't much room to drop the front diff before you are rubbing the axles. The little bit will help but still imho worthless when the sfa kit isn't much more and you get way more from it.

I built my sfa kit and only have $50 in it. Add 100 for a dana 30 and 100 for springs if you have the stuff its much cheaper. The limited market of parts for a series that is out of production is gonna keep the prices high and the companies willing to design parts for us limited. Sometimes you just gotta take what ya can get or forge your own path.
