I just took a look at some rock sliders on the internet and they seem cool, but a little too pricey. Im trying to keep this as low budget of a project as possible.

They rocks and mud on the trails that I normally ride arent too big that I have to worry about it too much.

As long as I know its not gonna end up looking too bad I might just settle for the body lift.

thats 2 inch bodylift, cranked bars and 31's. they rub the tops of the fenders at full flex. i can get a better pic just sitting on level ground if u want.

 

Those pictures looked pretty good with the 2 inches. But what does the frame look like sticking out the bottom? Thats pretty much the only thing thats holding me back at this point.

 

nice pics

1. how much does a 2" body lift cost? the cheapest

2. i keep hearing about cranking the torsion bars...how do you do this cause i am sick of my 30" tires rubbing when i hit a dip in the road

3. does the front bumper lift 2 inches or does it stay at stock height?

 

If you buy the right kit it will lift the bumper front and rear as well. Or you can fab a bracket for the front and rear bumpers. But if you use your bumpers to tow you won't be able to do that any more.

I've been looking at 2" x 2" lifts as well. Most prices I have found are around $600 I believe it was. The kit I'm looking at is the superlift. The Superlift 6x5 lift runs about $1800. For anyone that is curious.

I'm looking for a lift as well. and figured I would try checking and seeing what ppl have here. except I either going with a 2x2 or looking at the 6x5 lift that superlift has. Or if I could find one a 4"x4" lift. Was thinking that or possible 2" susp. w/ a 2" body. I have a set of 10 R15 rims that I'm planning on putting tires on Just waiting to see what i get for a lift first before I spend the $$ on the tread.

Most of my trails are not bad enough to need an awful large lift. But if a 2" lift only gives me about 1/2" more cleanerance I might just save up for a 6"x5" anyone have actual measurements for stock to lifted?

 

1. jack up your front end.

2. Follow your torsion bars all the way back. there is a bolt that screws upward. I believe tightening that bolt is what raises the front end. each one is adjusted independently.

3. You may have to do this a few times in order to get the adjusted thesame on both sides.

4. Keep looking. Im sure there is a lot of info in this forum about t-bar cranking.

 

I got a really good estimate on a 2" lift. I found a place that will do it for six or seven hundred.

The guy who gave me a really good deal on my tires gave me his friends number. He's doin it for $30/hour labor. That's half as much as anyone else around here.

So pics are commin as soon as possible.

 

sounds like a good deal, is it going to be the Superlift kit? Rough Country has a 2" kit with shocks for $575 + installation. Be careful which 2" Superlift kit you get, the lower priced one doesn't include shocks. From what I can remember when I was looking to get a lift, the Superlift is a 2" Front, 1" Rear. Nobody manufactures a 4/4 lift. Your only options are 2", 5", 6", or the 9" solid axle conversion.
To get a 4/4 you could buy the Rough Country or Superlift 2" suspension and use the Performance Accessories 2" body lift together, but this is not recommended by most off road companies.

 

I only talked to the guy on the for a couple minutes. So I dont really know the specifics. Im gonna stop by the shop tomorrow to talk to him in person and find out more info on it.
Im not totally positive im gonna have him do it until i know more.

Im still waiting to hear from another shop on an estimate too.

 

Just how hard would it be to do the lift yourself? To difficult? not to bad. Time consuming?
