1/2" isn't bad, but he's saying in addition to the 1.5" the BJ spacers will have already lifted him. CV and steering angles just get worse and worse...


Gotcha. That may be on the extreme side of things. Would advise on drop bracket lift but that's just more money...<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

And there's no way you cranked 3.5-4" out of your stock IFS unless it was severely sagged out to start with (which is not usually the case unless you've got a LOT of extra weight up front). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> The IFS only has about 5.5" of total travel in stock form.


I kid you not. I had NO down travel and for some reason (possibly having to do with being airborne for a second or two in my younger more irresponsible days) My upper bump stops were sheared off the frame from harsh landings not designed for that poor poor truck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Also I heard Deutchtech shocks are a good buy for a good price.
