Default Quick Fab on a 2" Lift

I just thru this lift in for the "the way it should of came from the factory stock" look .... nuth'n crazy here.

Shackle is temporary, untill I have time to visit the PNP yard and score some leafs.

I might go a little higher in the future, but for know this is my daily, beside too many other customers to deal with...

.250 wall, 3.5 diameter pipe X 2" long
-

-
4" long, 2x4 rect. tubing....split the stock shackle and extend.

Cheap, and easy.....

How much did this cost you man, if you don't mind me asking? and also did you change anything (i.e. shocks, steering{like pitman arm or anything}, tracbar, etc)? Also looks great btw, very clean!

Pretty good idea. I bet it cost you almost nothing. Want to send some extra pipe my way. Could use about an inch more of lift in the front.

Thanks !

This quicky didn`t cost me a dime, other than my time....which at times could be costly....LOL !

Anyway, with this small lift, the changes are minor and nothing changed dramtically. When time allows, I might extend the TA`s, custom fab a new trackbar mount, and add longer shocks. A 3" spacer will go in before I put in all that work though.
But again, it steers straight and "panic stops with no hands on the wheel"
