It sounds like it might be worth it to me to email Total Chaos and ask them why the BL is required with LT, hoping it's not because of rubbing on the firewall. I'm going with the Batch Racing LT kit when I've got more of the other work my truck needs done on it actually completed.

I hate it when someone decides to cut and run, screwing over other folks in the process. Oh well, at least I know now, long before I was even gonna buy. At least the TC kit seems more complete anyways.

Relating back to the ride height question.
My 2wd lifted still sits atleast 3" lower than a stock 4wd. Factors may be that I run 30" tires instead of 31 and im SUA

with a 3" body lift you do not sit 3" lower than a stock 4wd.. Just put it this way.. Stock tires for a 2wd are 195/50/15.. or something stupid like that A 4wd can fit 31x10.50x15 stock.. We need atleast a 3.5-4" lift to achieve that tire size

It is an approximate measure taken by driving up to stop lights where I see 4x4's with 31" tires sitting next to me and they are much higher than me still. I am pretty sure I am that much shorter.
I am still the short guy on the road

Got an email reply from Total Chaos saying I need to reread the product description under "parts not included" and quoted this section of it:
2" body lift is required for running 33s, not 31s with their uniball kit. Though they did not say why other than that I will need to change front fenders, which I was doing anyways for my snorkel.
84-88 Model Trucks require a 2" body lift to run a 33X10.5 tire.

Yeah, that and the inner fender liners from what I've read. I guess a 2" smaller tyre wouldn't need the BL because it'd be far enough away from stuff. If not, will find out eventually!

Nice. Well my shackles have shipped. I finished putting the 4wd fenders and corner lights in; and my bushings from total chaos arrived. Once the shackles come I will put all the suspension pieces on; and wait for the tires (which should ship next week)

I have a 94 2wd DLX with a three inch performance accessories body lift. I fit 31's no problem after removing the front valence. Soon I hope to throw on an addicted offroad front bumper to cover the ugly gap and keep some bugs from hitting my radiator but other than that, nothing rubs, I might have banged on the fenders a little bit but I dont recall doing anything major.
If I recall the performance accesories body lift wasnt much, I think I got mine for like $125 back in the day including shipping but I just ran a quick google and found one for $136.

Yeah; im trying to avoid having a body lift as much as possible and stay with upgraded suspension but thats good news because you only have 3" of lift lol.. I think I plan on going with a 2" body lift in the future just for EXTRA clearance considering I do not want any rubbing. Maybe for christmas!
Oh btw.. picking up my $25 best friend hookup 4.30 LSD tomorrow

Well; I went to my friends house and pulled the rear end.. Guess what? 4.30 OPEN diff! BLAH! I told him he should pay me for driving 30 minutes out to his house and pulling it myself; so he just gave it to me for free since he's scrapping the car.
I'm pretty effing broke; I think I am going to yank the 4.10 LSD out of my brothers supra since his project isn't done and a 7.5" LSD wont hold at 700rwhp any ways..
