IFS front end lift question.....

My lil brother just bought a '91 1/2 4x4 truck like mine, a (longbed) and had the rear springs re-ached. Giving him 2 of lift. He doesn't want to crank the T-bars up (like I did) and was wondering the best way to lift/level the front end. Should he buy a leveling kit, or find a lift kit just for the front end alone? And what company/companies would you guys suggest?
He says he has about $200 left to play with.

Thanks guys........

Ball joint spacers are the best bet for keeping the "stock" ride, that or bigger torsion bars, but they will stiffen the ride like cranking the stock ones.

Will the BJ spacers give him the 2 inches he's looking for to level the truck? He says w/ the snugtop on the truck, it looks like a stinkbug and that he can't stand it. He's not worried 'bout a stiffer ride, just wants it level.....

Thanks Masta

If I'm not mistaken the BJ spacers will give an 1.5" lift. You could then just slightly crank the T-Bars to compensate for any additional leveling that is needed.

Glad to see you back on the forums drkgypsy, I tried calling you a few times and left some messages. Hope you're doing well. My tucks running great, thanks for all of your help.
