I have loooked maybe not that good enough but I am looking to fix the saggy rear on this thing.... and what would it take to put 32s under this thing??

to fix the sag go to the jy and find one that has better leaf springs or order new ones and as for fitting 32s it depends on what model u have cause if im correct the sport has a little more lift cause my buddy was able to fit 32s without lift couldnt turn as sharp but they fit so u could maybe get a 2 inch bl or get a 2 inche lift by using coil spacers and then block it in the rear or get a add aleaf for your spring pack

mine is the 4 door... was thinking the spacers up front...and blocks in the rear....

you have an IFS up front, there's no coils to use a spacer on.

you'd have to crank the t-bars up front and do a shackle or block in the rear. or you could get a 2-3 inch body lift

you know something I hadnt really paid that much attention to it.... I really didnt know that... guess I will have to look at it to make sure.... I know I am going to do new shocks in rear.... what would be the best to raise it??? not to fond of the body lift..

The easiest way to raise the rear is either to just replace the leaf springs (or have them rearched) and/or add a shackle lift that should add about 1.75" lift in the rear. Either shackle lift or replacing the springs will restore stock height, doing both will yield a couple inches over stock.

Torsion Twist (TT) in the front should gain you 1.5-2", but don't go over 2" since it will give your CV joints in the front axle shafts undesirable angles to deal with.

I have a '99 (different front bumper than your '96 so you may have different experience with needing to trim the bumper) and I TTed it and added a shackle lift (Warrior 153) in the rear (still with saggy springs) and was able to fit 265/75R16s (32") on it by trimming the corner of the front bumper where it would rub when I turned.
