Default Wierd Question??

I am plannin on gettin 2" shackles but i dont like the idea of crankin the t-bars. Would it be possible to buy a 2" suspension lift for the front, an put shackles in the back? Stupid Question, just curious? Kinda tryin to skimp on cash.

Couple problems with your logic:

A 2' lift for the front is always going to use the t-bars. That's the only front suspension you've got (lets not mention the shock-assist). A 2' suspension lift gives you new t-bar keys and lifts up the front, then comes with all sorts of other goodies to decrease strain on the rest of the front end components. Then the kit includes shackles for the 2' rear lift.

Only way to get 2' without cranking the t-bars is a body lift.

body lifts are easy to install, just very very time consuming..

I just want to get an all around bigger tire, ill be putting shackles on it, an would like to fill in the space i get with a more beefier tire. I guess i would like to stick with the same rims but if i have to get ones then i will. Any help?

bigger tires on stock rims = rub, you should get offset rims.

edit: also, no lift is going to be cheap, skimping on a cash isnt really an option if you want to do things right the first time.
