First advice, don't buy a ifs lift kit, I'm sure you're going to regret buying one when you'll decide it's time to SAS, even if you say you won't, never trust youself in the wheeling world you'll get adicted and will want to go over things larger and harder. (I was like you, didn't want to swap but after 5 years into it I couldn't resist to remove the snow plow from the front)

Second, birf. eliminator are for solid axle not for IFS.

Last, you'll probably want a true-trac in the front or you're going to snap some axles with a locker.


Oh! and welcome to the board

Well if you are not going wheeling then why waist your money on a locker. And a three inch body lift is a bit much and the body lift will make it to where you can't shift into 4wheel low with out holding it down.
                 Welcome to the board.
Oh and i also regret buying my 4 inch tralmaster lift for my ifs and now i hate it.

[Fireimp141 [OP]]

Ok then give me some suggestions, if i dont get a ifs suspension lift wtf do i do? do i have to save a bunch load of money to get a solid front axle swap AND a lift kit for it? or should i get the 2-3 inch body lift and get me some 31-33's for right now? im open to a lot of things because of me being new. The only thing i know for sure is i was 35" tires and some lift, detroit electric rear locker and another front locker with 4.88 gears or 5.29. This forum ROX and im glad i get to be part of the yota world! thanx alot for the help, and post ASAP! 

[Fireimp141 [OP]]

and what exactly is a true-trac? is it a locker or what?

[Skinny_Pedal]

they call it a lunch box locker. its pretty much like a limited slip

[Mike D]

I would recomend doing the SAS with a 4" suspention lift and a 2 inch body and that will allow for 35" tires. And then get a detroit tru-trac in the front with and ARB in the rear or just a detroit locker. then get 4.88 gears front and rear. and top it all of with one of marlins Heavy Duty clutches. But you will also need to get high angle drive lines witch run for 249 here on marlins.

[Fireimp141 [OP]]

Mike, thats pretty much what im going to do  but didnt know about the drive lines thanx!

[Fireimp141 [OP]]

decided to get HD torsion bars from swayaway or downey, rancho shocks, maybe new leaf springs or just blocks, but for sure new 2" shackles and a torsion crank upfront, complemented by the 33X12.5-15 tires imma get which of course imma need a spacer now  o welllllllll! and by the way this board rocks! i got so much advice and knowlege and help from u vet rig runners, its insane!  Marlin Board!

[Fireimp141 [OP]]

Oh and by the way, should i get like some knobby aurora rt/02's or just some mtr's since imma be daily driver with fun afterschool or weekend riggin?

[Mike D]

Yeah the 33"x12.50" R15 run a about 190 bucks each and they are great on road and off but not the best in mud.

[Fireimp141 [OP]]

nope MikeD ure wrong! i can get 35X12.5-15 aurora rt/02 for 550 for all 4! SICK! they are like 250-300 for each tire retail, but this local arab dood gets me super duper cheap price!  so im thinking, ill have to check, but some 33X12.5's will run me like 350 for all 4, lets hope!

[dirtbag]
