Lift!

[1988dangerranger]

Hey so Ive done just about everything I can to my 87BII without lifting or doing axle swaps or anything like that.. I decided im gonna put me a lift on it by the end of january.. I think im gonna do a 2" coil spacer and block kit but I have 2 options.. I can do a "ROX" kit that I found on ebay. Or I could do a daystar front spacer with a superlift 2" rear.. Have you guys every used the rox or even hear of the rox?! It looks pretty quality from what ive read, Its all CNC done.. But I know for a fact Daystar makes a good product and so does Superlift.. Any help would be appreciated.

I would personally just slap a set of leveling coils on the front from rough country and a set of belltech shackles for the rear, run 31's and be done with it.

Well for that matter couldnt I do the f150 coil swap in the front and the explorer leafs in the back?

You'll have the same amount of money all said and done, and your kidney's will be beat to hell with the stiff ride you'll have with those F150 coils, but sure, it would work

Or do a body lift instead, and keep your center of gravity lower. I did that On my 87 BII and am happy with it, plus, I can still do a suspension lift later, if I should choose too. The body lift on mine took about 4 hrs for me, since I had to repair a rusted out support bracket.

I did a body lift on my 87 BII and am happy with it. It keeps the center of gravity lower. Only about 4 hrs to install. You can still do a suspension lift later, if you want.

sorry about the duplication, I didn't think the first one went thru.

I dont know a lot about how much I need to do with a body lift.. Dont I need a shift extension.. steering extension and a bumper raise bracket?

 

[unoleisu]

Yes you do need those, but they usually come in the kits. I didn't use a bumber bracket, and the shift extension I did myself ( I have an M50D so I modified my shifter to fit the way I wanted it.) The steering extension is easy to install.

I might end up doing a body lift down the road..

The body lift also gives more room around engine and transmission, making it easier to work on just about everything under the truck. I needed it for my M50D swap. Made it much easier.
