I have a 3 inch suspension lift now with springs in front and full packs in rear. Question is can i add a BB to this to make it a 5 inch lift by using 2 inch lift shackles in rear and 2 inch spring spacers in front?? will this be a good or bad thing? Will this work? Any other suggestions? I want more lift and i will be trimming fenders and putting on 33x12.5's after its done.

Thanks for your help guys!

 

yeah you can add spacers up front and shackles out back for an extra two inches..

it will work but you run into a lot more problems with 4+ inches of lift...

you will have to drop a lot of money into it when u raise it that high...

sye, longer driveshaft, gears since your going to run 33's...etc...

 

i have an SYE and cv shaft, I realize i will have to buy new shocks to account for the bigger lift. do i really need to re gear for 33 inchers???

 

you might...im not 100%...but im sure you'd lose a little bit of power if you didnt...

 

that is true, i realize that. thanks

 

no problem...that thing would look sick with 33's...

oh...how do you like those hella's?...i just ordered a set an will put them on my bumper...any pros and cons about the lights...thanks

 

haha yea!!! I hope it works out! and i love the hella's. Not a big fan of the fogs though.... not very bright at all. I am going to buy their brighter bulbs(100watt) i think and see if that helps but i love their driving lights!! so bright it lights up everyhting!!!!
i have the 500 driving on bumper and 550's on the rack, one pair driving, one pair fog

 

yeah just ordered the hella 500's a couple days ago...cant wait to put em on!

 

sweet man they rock!!

 

anyone know if i have to re gear?

 

Have to .... No should you .... yes running 33's with 3.54 or 3.73 gears puts you below the acceptable power band but I know many people who have and still do it . They wheel that way and have no major issues. I will add that the Dana 35 is not really good for anything above 33's but unlocked you should be fine. I have run 35's on mine unlocked and been fine ( no breakage)

 

i have the chrystler 8.25 rear with locker. i think im going to do 32x9.5's and not re-gear. anyone have anything against that? I dont wheel very often if that helps.

 

Those blocks will shorten your lower control arms, ( well not shorten them physically, your axle will move closer to your transmission) and change your caster angle. Your ride will go to crap, and your High way manners will suffer as well. Spend the money and get some longer lower control arms with your blocks.

Hell I got an old pair from a Pro Comp (Pro Trash) lift, I would give to ya if you want them, I was going to use them just for welding practice, but if you want them, where are ya shipping should be cheap. PM me if you want them, My wife wants to learn how to weld, so be quick, or they are toast.

 

You could get by with control arm drops and not lose so much caster. PM muddeprived he just recently put a set on his and he likes them.

 

with 33s you should be running 4.56s same gears for 32s too. 31s should be 4.10s
