There are too many factors to say. Depends on how much front lift you have, what trans/transfer you are using, what motor mounts you are using, what oil pan you are using, etc.

Don't let a body lift determine your setup. Get what parts you want and set the engine in place, and if you have to add a body lift, then do so.

And, if the time comes and you must get a lift, 4Crawler Offroad can make you one the exact height you want (e.g.,1.5" or whatever) so it's a good match for your needs, or you could also make your own via the info on his page.

Every domestic to Toy swap I have seen have all had 3"BL's. I am not sure if it was all needed, but given the size differences, I think a 3" would be your best choice, and any extra clearance you have will be a bonus.


More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
