how else can i get lift?

i got the 3 inch body and 4 inch suspension lift on it and cant find any larger lifts. any ideas on how to raise it higher. i know theres ways to do it, but i dont know them. i got it on 36x12.50x15 super swampers now and do not rub at all. when the tires oni t now wear out id like to go with 38s. ill have to lift it more. i MAY be able to squeeze 37s under there with a little trimming, but i dont want to take that route and i want 38s. any suggestions?

1.5" balljoint spacers - could give you AROUND 2" of lift.

then a longer shackle in the rear.

If you want to go any higher then that, a sas is pretty much your only option.

Actually, probably less than you have in it now if you had just done it to start with...

But seriously, why do you need so much lift? Compensating for a "short"coming?

Well, that's not what you said ... all the info you could need or want is located in the Solid Axle Swap section of the forum.

so just how is your suspension lifted right now? for the rear you can get lift springs, shackels or blocks. for the front you can crank the t-bars, balljoint spacers and i belive drop bracket which i think is the right name. but going for tires much bigger than you have isnt a good idea for keeping the ifs and not all of these methods i have mentioned are really good options, a sas with lift springs is your best option
