Has anyone ever thought of using the Superlift 4" bracket lift on the ifs front end but only dialing about 3" of lift out of the t-bars? That way the lift would be a more modest 3" and since the t-bars are backed off you would have better flex and ride. The a-arm angles would actually be shallower than stock, but it would give you 3" over-stock lift.


That's almost exactly what I've done to my T100. I built my own brackets similar to the Superlift ones and un-cranked the t-bars about an inch from where the factory set them.

This means under the front crossmember I only have the same ground clearance as I would normally have with 33's even though I've got 35's, but that is still more than enough for my uses.

My main reason for doing it was simply to lower it. It used to have the 4" lift plus a 2" bodylift, which my wife liked. However, now that I'm divorced and have "my" truck back <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> I took off the BL and lowered the t-bars and I like how it looks/rides/drives MUCH better now.
