Need help on a 02 Lift
I have a stock 02 and just put on 265 75 r16's Revos on and want to add a slight lift. I dont have alot of money to spend. I have done alot of reading on this and have come up with 881's in font and 906's in rear. I am looking at $340 for that. What else will I need? Do I have to change the shocks? I am sure I can do the work on the back myself but I might have to bring it some place to do the front. Thanks for any help.

With that little of a lift you really don't need anything else. I'm running TRDs and 891s with the stock length shocks and they are fine. Sure, I could get more rear droop if I went to a longer shock but the rear droops alot as it is.
If your shocks are old you may want to consider replacing them at the same time. especialy the fronts since the labor will be the same. The rears you could do later.
I also did...
*- a front diff drop, not needed for a small lift.
*- rear panhard bar drop, not needed for a small lift.
*- e-brake cable relocation bracket, not needed but if you wheel you may want to make one. It'll let the axle droop whith straining the cable.

Thanks for the reply's. No I dont live in Denver. I am in Minneapolis. I am a big Broncos fan and Atwater was one of my favorite bronco. I wish I lived there the help would be great. Will I need the spacers in front? I think I will do the shocks in front the same time. Any suggestions on lower priced shocks?

As everyone else has said, replacing the shocks at the same time as you do the lift is a great idea. OME makes good stuff and you'll be happy with their coils and shocks. I did the 882's up front with the N91SC comfort valved shocks and have been very pleased with their performance.
