i wouldn't do it... that's 9 inches man.. you'd need 37's!

 

[86 slo-vo]

way too much, if it were me....no body lift and max 4 inch lift

 

[Boggin]

yeah thats true 9" is overkill. and jon a 6" lift and 33s are perfect with 33s i love it

 

[Boggin]

also i think im settled on paint. the whole truck in either satin or gloss black. and the bottom part in CamoWrap like how it is going around the bottom on this truck

only im thinking this for the camo pattern

photoshops accepted

im kinda thinking of ditching the idea of susp lift, and just throwing on 3" body lift, 2" coil spacers and 2" rear blocks. thats still 5" of lift there and i already got everything to do it so the most it will cost me is the cost of washers. i got the blocks and body lift and everything already. then thats an extra $300 ill still have for gears

 

[kroussinoffroad]

that's what's on the DWB. we cleared 33's with the BL and minor trimming. they rubbed when fully flexed but the SL took care of that

 

[Boggin]

yeah. i really want that susp lift but like i told you other things came up and i already have all the gear to lift it 5" like i mentioned above, then i only gotta come up with 300 for the gears and then shipping. damn these things costs money to have fun lol

 

[Boggin]

just ordered wheel adapters. now i can slap the 33s on her like she is, ill just put them on the rear and see if its tolerable with the gears she has. ill probably soon start taking the body lift off the ranger and putting it on the b2 too.

 

[kroussinoffroad]

lookin forward to see some progress. my next susp setup is gonna be low and just cut the snot outta the fender's. i really need to lower my CG

 

[Boggin]

yeah i like low ones too but i dont wanna chop this one up shes too clean lol

 

[kroussinoffroad]

yeah i dont blame ya there, I'm over that. let the spark's fly on my truck . i need to do something to this damn truck i'm losing motivation and direction with it. on the up tho it is back sittin in my yard again feel alot better about that.

 

[Boggin]

thats great, get er washed? hah

if you do a body lift, just address the stiffs springs of the ttb. get some xj springs and a better rear pack for flex. then get some nice shocks (bilstiens) and you'll be set.

 

[Boggin]

yeah i deffinetly plan on xj springs and when i do shocks it will be f250 towers

one of my buddy's just gave me a set of stock xj springs. dang them things are soft compared to the ttb. i'm gonna use it as a base figure when i do the axle swap to see what i really need to get the ride height i want.
