i was just wondering which is better for a budget boost with 2" spacers for the front.
whats a better combo to fit 31x10 tires
2" inch spacers for the front
and either a short add a leaf for the rear or a 1 to 2" shackle for the rear

im a daily driver

I'd get shackles but that's just me..Short AAL leafs suck they will sag quickly, long AAL leafs will last longer..At least that is what I have been told..Still for a 2" or less lift Shackles are my preference.

thanks

is this worth $150

Long AALs are a more long lasting solution. The torque of an off camber flex with extended shackles may leave you stranded.

BlueXJ

Probably yes the shocks are worth near or all of that price. I would re-sell the shackles and recoup some of my money then put in a spring pack.

okcjeeper

Definitely worth the $150...retail price on that kit is $250 at rough country...

well i paid 150 and just got it in the mail today i was jw if it was worth putting on. ill be running stock tires for a month or so then ill be getting 31x20 A/T. im a daily driver and go offroading mabey once or twice a month but i dont go all out ive went a few times stock and only got stuck once. the trails i ride are local

BlueXJ

Good to hear. I would slasp it on ASAP and be ready for those new tires when you get them. Gonna get new wheels too?

im running it with stock tires right now, i cant afford new tires for another month or so but i got to excided, go ahead and do waht you want but i dont think it looks stupid

we gld you stayed away from the AAL way to much work and not near enough reward especially when they start sagging.

will 31x10.5 itres fit my stock rim >?<

okcjeeper

Yes they will fit the rim but at 2" you might have to do some fender trimming for 31" tires...If you plan on staying at 2" of lift I'd get 30's myself... I am going to be running 30" tires on an RE 3.5 lift..

usarmy0101

okay yea that makes sence but im not sure yet i have to shop for tires after the lift is put on!

whats better for the rear lift a short add a leaf or a shackle
when i say whats better i mean quailty wise im a DD and only off road once in a while

okcjeeper

Just do the shackle..been driving mine with a shackle for about 2000 miles so far and no issues..You have the shackles just use em... Now a hint on installing a shackle do not torque the 2 shackle bolts till after you drop it to the ground then torque to specs but not to tight and iit will ride smoother also use some locktite...
