what size lift are you installing? Did you have any death wobble issues driving around like that?

Makes me think of the '60s when they built the drag cars that way for weight transfer.

Not a stupid question at all. Jack it up by the diff. then put jack-stands under the frame-rails in front of the forward spring perches (under the doors) when you get it at the height you want.

I've got a TC drop kit you can have if you want it, just pay shipping. It's 3/4 inch if I remember right. It came with our lift kit but we ended up putting a SYE in instead.
