Im not doing a body lift...

 

As said. 4Crawler

if you only want an inch or two, get some bj spacers up front, and a longer shackle in back.

 

^ there you go. BJ spacers up front for 1.5" of lift and a 3" longer rear shackle for 1.5" of rear lift.

 

Ok three questions...
1-How much does that cost?
2-How hard is it to install?
3-Where do I obtain this stuff?

Sorry guys, Im a noob to this crap... I tried getting help on TTORA and I got flamed hardcore for not having a catalatyic converter, I mean I should have one.. but theres no emissions around here and I didn't have the fifty bucks to spare for one at the time. I think I might be getting a magnaflow High-Flow one? are those good? but some dude told me to shoot myself and all this other Bs, theyre assholes over there.

 

I have a magnaflow Hi-flow, I still passed aircare no problem.

bj spacers are around 110 bucks us
shackles around the same, maybe more
and you will need 4new shocks ( I picked up a set of used ones for 50 bucks)

Instalation is pretty easy, bj spacers require a little trimming of your a-arm, you will need an alingment after so keep that cost in mind.

probibly run you in the area of .. 500 bucks I suppose, thats if you go with pretty good shocks

I just looked in an old NWOR magazine, I think I'll just order their 1.5 inch lift that comes with low profile bump stops, new rear leafs, and thicker T bars

 

I would stay away from thicker t-Bars unless you are doing some desert running..

 

easiest and cheapest bet is the bj spacers, and shackles listed above. with 1.5" you should be fine with stock shocks.

Ps. Shackles should be down in the $60 range.

 

Well, I don't have anything for knowledge about how to put bj spacers in

 

summit raceing has some nice stuff believe it or not

 

Go to 4Crawlers site. Buy from him and follow his directions. He posted his links for you. All the info you need is right there. Very good info at that.

 

so you want to do torsion bars instead? good luck with that!!!
http://sdori.com/ <=== how to install the spacers.

also try the SEARCH button. it will do wonders for you.

 

seriously that search is helpful. if you cant do shackles, and bj spacers yourself you're not gunna be able to do anything else except maybe a body lift, which you already said no to. Might be worth finding a good mechanic...

 

good shackles with braces are going to be closer to 80, the bj spacers will be around 145, and if ur stayin small u wont HAVE to get new shocks, just nice to. the shackles and bj spacers are precisely what im going to do, and ive rounded out to about 325 with shipping and such. thats ordering from 4crawler and doing everything myself.

 

There are instructions on www.sdori.com. Also, you can email us at sales@sdori.com if you have any questions.

If you get a $20 angle grinder with the 4" cut off wheel, the install goes very quickly. I can do it less than 2 hours including realigning the front end myself. If you try to grind the material you need to remove you will be grinding for quite a while.

I threw up a post recently about how to do your own alignment. You might read up on it, it's a good skill to acquire. Even if you don't nail it, you'll be so close even the most brain dead alignment tech will be able to align your truck.

Well I don't have the knowledge but I can certainly as hell learn!
And as for the bj spacers, Ive noticed their highly reccomended over Torsion bars being thicker? and I don't want a body lift.. every dumb hillbilly at my high school has a lame ass chevy pickup with a 6 inch body lift and straight pipes... thanks for the info guys, Ill check into it, also I can get my truck aligned for free. my friend owns an alignment shop so thats not a big deal and I planned on getting some of bilsteins 5100 series shocks, I think thats what they are anywho
