Got a 3 inch suspension lift about a month ago. Put some tires on it and decided it wasn't tall enough. I'm so excited. The UPS man just dropped off my 2 inch shackles and spacers. I hope to install them this weekend. Should make it look pretty good. 5 inches total plus I probably got an inch or so out of my new tires. Ill post some pics when I get it installed.

 

Sounds good cant wait to see the pics.

 

hope you are extending thoes brake lines to

 

x2 on both of these.

 

also plan on replacing the shocks cause 9 outta 10 times the 3" lift shocks aren't long enough!?!?

 

Boy, I hope you've been PB Blasting every nut and bolt for a week before you try to put everything on. I just did my RC 2" lift and the shackle bolts that go into the frame were agonizing. The one's that hold the leaf spring in the shackle weren't too terrible, though. I broke all 4 upper shock mounts, though. Did this lift in one day and fixed the shock mounts the next day. Not too bad though. I bought the same kit for the same reason as you. If I want more lift, just need some leafs and coil springs. Be sure to post some pics when you're done.

 

Yeah, finally finished installing it about two hours ago. I will have to extend the front brake lines a bit if I ever want to do some hard core flexing. They made it but are very tight. As for everything else, it all installed very easily for the most part. As for all the bolts, we just installed the three inch about a month ago so they were fairly easy to get off and on this time around. It was dark and snowing when we got done so I will take some pics tommorow in the day time after I take it to get an alignment.

 

Alright, I took some pics of it today. Firs one is when it was stock and the rest are after the 3" suspension lift + the 2 inch shackles and spacers. Ive got about $400 in everything (not including the tires) 5 inches total plus whatever I got from the tires which are supposed to be 31s but they measure 32 1/4 with a tape measure.

 

he could always do the redneck front brake line extension where you unbolt the metal line from the body and bent the line where it curves straiter drill a new hole and bolt it back to the body

 

How does it drive? I was kinda worried that this would cause the wobble.

 

im considering doing this to mine (3 inch on 31's) only worried about having to buy new shocks. those shocks arent giving you any trouble? and is there anything else that you'll need to replace besides longer brakelines? TIA
(looks great BTW!!)

 

Hey man that looks great! Let us know how it handles.

 

Shocks work fine, but I have heard that rustys improved there shocks if you bought the three inch kit withing 6 months or so ago. I got mine just about a month ago. But it rides fine. No death wobble. It actually rides better than it did when it was stock except for the occasional hard bump. You do feel those but no wobble.

 

Looks Nice...Tj
I have 4 3/4 and I'm using the shocks that came with my Zone Lift (made by RC, RE..etc) and have no issues...Tj

 

planning to do the same when my 3.5 re lift gets here. and this post helped me decide im definitely going to. looks great
