toyminator2000 – There has to be dumb people in order for there to be smart people
thats better
now i will tell you something i seen along time ago, it was on a old nissan 4x4, dude mounted a couple leaves from a chevy side by side, crossways and upside down under the ifs, like the shackle was under the driverside A arm, and the hanger end was under the pass side A armand used ubolts to hold the center to the crossmemberand it worked sweet
sorry i dont understand whats wrong with body lifts?? you say they raise the cog.. well. what do you think you are doing when you lift a vehicle perriod? body lift you arent raising all the weight only part of it.. a full lift you are raising all of the weight making your cog worse.
well if its all suspension with big tires, then you would need lowered bumpstops, with a 2 inch body lift done right you have better tire stuff potential, without having to get the torch or sawzall outi am going to do maybe a 2 inch BL on my truck later on, just for the gas tank and under bed tool box clearance
Screw the body lift, that just puts your COG higher. Get some good HD torsion bars like these from the Downey site and start cranking. I'm actually surprised that Marlin doesn't sell these. http://downeyoff-road.com/SuspensionComponents/index.htm Too much pre-loading on the stock torsions will fatigue them and ride like a log truck. I have the Downey bars on my truck currently and am very happy with them! I have 33" BFG's with no body lift or trimming. It's fine. Make sure you get a gusset for the bottom of your A-arms. The bigger tires will want to spread apart there and screw up your IFS. Oh and I threw some add-a-leafs on to help the rear. Happy trails!
