I recently bought a 1992 regular cab short bed pickup and it has 3" blocks in the rear and a 3" torsion lift (I know, your not supposed to go above 1.5"). I have been looking around at lifts and wondering what I should do. I like rock crawling but I also like a nice riding vehicle on the street. This one is stiff but still rides better then my Jeep TJ did with a solid front axle. I am hoping that a 2" bodylift and taking out some of the torsion twist will keep tire clearance for the 33" tires on it. That should get me through the winter here in Alaska but in the Spring I would like to get a new lift under it and wondering about who, if anyone, makes a good lift for the Truck. I ran OME in my Jeep and couldn't think more of the product but I can't find a lift for my year truck. Do they make one? If not then I am considering one of the long travel lifts using the T100 axles but I have no idea what a reasonable price is for it. I would rather get a lift that keeps the same general track width even if I don't have as much travel but nothing I saw really strengthens the suspension short of the long travels. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot,
AL

Loose the t-Bar lift, get balljoint spacers, loose the blocks and go with an AAL (add a leaf). Add the body list and you'll be good to go. It will ride 100 times better than how it is now.

The track will be wider with the long tavel kits - that's how they get the increased travel. If you want strength, you should swap a solid axle under it like your TJ had. the ride won't be as bad as the TJ because the wheelbase is longer on the truck. The short arms on the TJ make the ride brutal if lifted much.

Marlin and All Pro have kits for solid axle swaps using leaf springs. These will give you plenty of strength. They probably end up costing the same as the long travel kits if you do the work yourself.

[[can't find a lift for my year truck. ]]

Everyone makes lifts for that truck. (Assuming 4wd) 86-89 4Runner, 86-95 pickup lifts.
Trailmaster, Rancho, Rough Country, Tough Country, Fabtech, Skyjacker, Highjacker, etc etc and the 'custom' guys do too.
