I totally understand that Hi-Steer is pretty much an all-win proposition, however, at this point I won't be doing it as I currently can't pull the truck off the road that long.
What I want to know is if the stock steering setup will work function with 3" lift springs and 2" extended shackles? What's about the limit?
Here in Australia everything is 2" lift (or custom, apart from EFS 3" springs), and with the possibility of having to get springs ex-USA, I don't want to be hunting around for more parts when they get here.
Also any recommendations on springs? Its an 18R petrol, so not a lot of weight in the nose (will get a fairly weight conscious tube bar and 9000lb'er china winch soon though*) and won't be carrying anything heavier than mountainbikes or overnight gear in the back, so I'm quite happy to go for softish springs.
*although at that point I plan to shift the battery to the bed to offset somewhat. I do like that it is light (just a shade over 3000lbs as is), and I don't plan to load it up with armor or recovery gear any more than necessary.
