I am manual trans, and well then I will go with the panhard drop or just deal, I am working on a budget here, what am i looking at price wise? I did read it, ive actually read it before I saw he said that the LC coils are like a 1/4 inch difference. So where do I find the LC coils at not a junkyard but maybe someone parting one out, hey im looking at every option here
but this is what I am looking for

Yeah I would just try to find them used somewhere.

150 or so for the BJ spacers
100??? complete guess. for the coils. whatever you can find them for.
200 for a good set of shocks. maybe overestimating i havent looked into their prices
50 for panhard drop.

I would say if you are thrifty you should be able to do it for under 400. but remember you should do an alignment after the BJ spacers.

Heres some pics of that setup. (my truck)

Nice I actually read your rebuild thread its definitely clean!
So i read to go with the procomp shocks, are they any good?
so do I just google the bj spacers and then look until I can find the coils.
Basically im new to doing suspension, well semi new what am I looking at really
I have no lift or anything and am limited in what i have some sockets wrenches the usual stuff

and I read also that the bj spacers can give you like 5"+ of lift, I thought maybe 2 or so inches

also I gotta ask is the H4 headlight conversion hard? or is it worth it?

Procomps are fine.

A few different places sell the BJ spacers. First one that comes to mind is SDORI. Its impossible to get 5" of lift from them. Maybe if you are lifted already it would help with your travel or maybe give and extra inch of travel. Its pretty much like a torsion bar lift except you have more room to play with. So you put them in and adjust tour t-bars a little further you could get about 2" maybe three but the ride will probably be stiff from being on the bump stops the whole time.

H4 is VERY easy and very worth it. If you havent already seen it there is like an 8 page thread for it somewhere around here.

Yeah, i took some time and found some BJ spacers they dont seem to hard besides having to cut a little bit, or do they bolt right up, so how much lift do you have? you pretty much have what I want! so am i looking about 2" of travel after its done?

The only thing that I have heard is that h4 doesnt project the light up for highway signs and you can get scattered light patterns. What brand did you go with? Ive read people get them off ebay.

How does your 3.slow handle the 33 on there?? I do a lot of mountain pass driving and its already gutlis as hell, do the 33 bog you down even more or not really?

Yeah I can feel it but with a freshly rebuilt top end I still have some power. I'm not saying I can go up hills in 5th gear but I can take just about anything when I downshift to 3rd around 5000rpm. I have passed a couple people but I dont drive like someone in a mercades either.

I have yet to go with the 33's but my top end was rebuilt, shoot about 3000 miles ago so I should have the power for them right? well I want to keep my truck level with the torsion bars you get that ass end sag dont you?

oh and I think I found them, did you do a write up on the conversion?

My top end was about 2000 or 2500 ago. Not a lot of power but definetley livable. I have 4.56 gears in my rear end. There is a code on your firewall that should let you know the gear ratio.

If you do the LC coils and BJ spacers the ass end will be high. You will have to turn the torsions up a bit if you want it level. I have my torsions turned up as much as I want them before the harsh ride, but then I have a couple hundred pounds of stereo equipment out back that brings it down a bit too.

so with that conversion do you need a new wireharness?
