What's the BEST, most cost effective suspension and tire setup???

[kyle_22r]

suspension is overrated, lock that sucker up and go anywhere

i'm planning on just putting 3" springs in the front(current stockers are negatively arched and i've got about 2" of uptravel before they smash the bumpstops) mainly just because i need new springs and stockers are more expensive than lift springs, then maybe a 1" block in the rear with 3" longer shackles(leveling it out, stock truck rides about a half inch higher in the rear, so 3" shackle + 1" block = 2.5" of lift).

if i ever wheel my truck harder than i do now i'll consider crossover steering, but everywhere i've needed to go so far(not saying a whole lot) i've gotten with the torque rod and swaybar still on, so push pull ain't doing me so bad yet.  i just want to find out where i can get a 3" drop drag link(all the ones i've seen for sale are 4", superlift sells a 3" but nobody stocks it so i'll have to call them and find out where to get one)

good point a truck locked up front and rear with stock suspention can easily get farther than a truck with alot of suspention work and open diffs
(if the driver knows what hes doing)

Thats not always true.  I saw a toyota open front and rear with 35's do better then my toy with a detriot rear and 35's, but it was in the snow.  It also had the All-pro extreme suspension on it. The flexier the suspenstion, the less likely it is to tip over on a side hill.

Sounds like you all have some good ideas.  But what I am tring to accomlish is a little more complicated than just making it work.  I want One suspension from one vendor, marlins bumpers and sliders, Toyota lockers, 5.29's, birf eliminators, high angle drive lines, ect.. I had a longers list but my computer messed up and deleted it all and i don t feel like typing it all out agian.  Here are some pictures of my CLEAN non buchered 84' Mini, hope yall like it.
