I got mine from summit racing for about that price with free shipping. Worked great with the LC coils.

Really the only difference between the 4crawler and the summit one is that 4crawler gives you the hardware with it. Personally, I have a TON of grade 10 hardware (up to 3/4" bolts) so the extra $30 for a couple bolts just wasn't worth it for me.

did you have to put a longer rear brake hose on after the spacers were added?

check out this link https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...riteup-201297/

Its a total write up for bj and coil spacers. There is a picture of what the brake line looks like before he got an extended one. I just received my new shocks today so i'm about ready to install my coil spacers and I am going to order a longer brake line. My buddy installed lift springs and he hasnt changed his brake line yet but it is pretty stretched so it is probably best and safest to get one soon after installing a rear lift or even at the same time. A longer brake line is needed if you plan on wheeling at all because the extra flex could cause it to over stretch.

NM94runner - how wide is your lspv bracket? I am going to make my own since i work at fastenal I can get the metal and bolts for practically free. I was thinking it should be about 1.5" wide or so but since you have it laying around I figured I'd ask.

I went with the skyjacker nitro 8000. The price is right and I am close to a 4wheelparts store so I was able to pick them up there and not pay shipping. Skyjackers should be perfect for my set up.

If I had the money I would go with the bilsteins of course, but i'm a broke college grad that cant find a job in this crappy economy!!! I'll wait until I have my engineering career going before I spend money on the expensive stuff.

Do you mean you just want some basic shocks or actually stock? Most stock shocks wont work with a lift. If you are just saying some cheap basic shocks then you should go with rancho, skyjacker or procomp hydros. I think the skyjacker hydros were around $34 a piece and the nitros are $43 a piece. The rancho and procomps are about the same price and I believe they are all practically the same shock

Park on a level surface. Measure from the ground to the frame rail. Not from the ground to the wheel well. The wheel cutouts are different front to back, it is just the shape of the body.

If you don't like the way it looks, then just loosen the t-bars a little bit. It'll flex better and ride softer/smoother anyways
