Need a Spot
Hi guys
I want to lift my monty and from previous post someone told me I shouldn't crank T-Bar 2" as it's too much. I did 3" lift on my 91 trooper and it torned cv boots. I know some of you done the suspension lift and wondering how much you guys lifted and what is recommended height?

Body Damage is Cool
Somewhere in the 1 1/2 to 2" range is OK.
You might need to trim down the rubber on the lower bump stops too. I removed my lower bump stops completely for off roading. Do you have lock-out hubs or full time hubs?
Full time will wear the CV and Boots faster. Do you have rear leaf spring or coils?

I just bought aisin hubs from ebay to replace factory auto hubs and it has leaf spring which I'm going to add a leaf from summitracing made by procomp. One of the article from forum saying that add a leaf is better than longer shackles...

i just put the longer shackles on at the beginning of the month and so far i realy like them.also the lower bump stop is not the problem it is the upper's.there are 2 per side for the upper bump stops.and the aisin hubs are thought to be the best.the auto hubs suck,and the aisin's are stronger than the superwinch.but i have never had a problem with the superwinch.
