That said, if anyone knows of anyone else who makes a 2wd long travel kit, I'm sure the few of us here with 2wd would appreciate knowing. I think downey made one, but my google-fu is not turning up much more than lift spindles and TC kits.

i knew of a guy where im from that built lifts for ifs trucks but mainly chevy s10 they were extreme and usually 8 inchs or better and i seen a 12 inch on a s10 it kinda looked wierd with the huge drop down brackets and trans and transfer cas hanging low to keep the driveline right i can try to see if he is still around but he was reasonable but dont know if he still performs this service as ohio is a bitch of a state for 4x4 guys as far as the long arm kits for a 2wd im thinking lc engineering might have some but you might hafta call or buy a catalog

I've got a 91 pickup, 4wd.
I don't want to SAS.
I'm over 230k on the stock suspension, and its pretty worn. I'd like to replace all 4 shocks, the steering damper, the torsion bars, the leaf springs, the swaybar bushings, the ball joints, and the various bushings and bits in between. Ideeally there'd be a kit, or at least a single vendor, that I could get all those bits from. The closest I've come is NWOR, (no shipping, I can drive there easy), but they're getting a lot of negative press on here...
I'm not looking for a lift for clearances. I'm looking to do a modest upgrade when I do a mandatory replacement of my current suspension..I've heard the stock T bars don't like big tires, and I have 32's. Can someone recommend a vendor? A kit? There are so many choices and I am very new to this game. Any ideas with a modest budget, say 1500 max?

Classic Rear Lift Kit, 3" Springs, 79-88, $599, 110033-1-K
http://www.blazeland.us/Page_3.html Deluxe with Tbars is 1550.
Plus shipping.
It looks like exactly what I want, but about a grand more than I was hoping to pay.
I'd like to do an engine build next year, this will def. but a major dent in that budget :/
That was exactly what I was looking for man, awesome.

yes, I assume a firestone lifetime alignment will probably need to be factored into my total cost, but I can otherwise do this in a weekend, more comfortable on the front than the rear, as leaf springs are totally foreign to me (used to working on coils/shocks, not this tractor suspension )
