Home brew lift questions

[Triumph]

Im planning to lift my 1998 supercab 2wd this spring.

I want to use Doestch 3in lift spindles, and procomp add a leafs and the ford 4wd spring blocks in the rear.

Has anyone had experience with add a leafs and the spindles? how high of lift is achieved with both products? Whats the long term effects of both products?

I already have the explorer sport 16in wheels with 255/60R16 tires(i think, its comparable to a 30in tire) I would like to run 31X10.5, is this going to be an issue with rubbing?

i have a 3in. spindle not sure what brand but i could prolly fit 32s under it. i amwaiting to put exploder leafs in but i have beltech 6400s in the back and it sits pretty level. about 1/2 in lower in rear. the only problem you might have is the wheel has more than 3.75in of backspacing i believe. the spindles will push the wheels out a bit so go lock to lock and see how much room you have

How much lift do you achieve from explorer leafs?

I tryed add a leafs on a jeep camanche lift two times. First time i used one set form summit. Short ones. Not full length. Got 4.5" of lift. Suspention got stiff. Next lift i doubled them. Gained only .5" lift and so stiff i lost all traval. Then took out secound add a leaf and went to spring over. Now have big rake 7" in front and 10" in rear. If you go with and an add a leaf and blocks run a track bar. Hope i could help.

if u want to keep the ride comfort i would suggest the blocks 4WD use 2" blocks iirc, but ive seen some with taller blocks
