thanks guys! unlike my subaru forum, people here actually help and not talk crap to newbs. im gonna try to do it in a week or so and im also getting new shocks. do i have to get special ones if i do the blocks and torsion? and what are great shocks for our rides?

alot of people dont relize how many things factor in why you shouldnt use body lifts... your fan doesn't line up with your radiator causing it to run warmer than it should, your steering shaft needs to be moved, wires become tight, and if your t case isnt push button your shifter may hit the floor boards, you gotta replace every body mount on it which isnt ever and easy task, and you see all that frame and in my opinion thats like seeing a hot chick then she smiles and is missin some teeth!

shocks...it never hurts to get slightly longer shocks...maybe for 1-2" of lift. Many sites are easy to work with for that. I like Summit racing, the site is easy to use and the prices aren't bad.

Try the old shocks first and see if they have enough travel.

well i think the rear shocks are bad. i get a bit of wiggle in the tailend when i hit a bump

 

[bowtiefreak]

sounds like shocks

so after the lift can I fit a 315/75/17 tire?

that picture of mine is torsions cranked and 2in blocks and rocked the 35s for a few days... slightly rubbed on front of the front fenders when i was turning and hit a bump so i grinded about a 1/4 of an inch of the bumper and didnt have a problem and you wouldnt even notice it...

thanks man! I found a set of bfg ats with 75% tread for $120. So I figured I would try to make it work.

Here is a 3" body lift with 33" x 12.5" tires on a 17" rim. I dont think that body lifts are as bas some people think. If you do go with a body lift though make sure it has bumper brackets. Mine did not and thats why my bumper has a gap. Im ordering my bumper brackets this week though.
