3" Lift on the cheap.
I started with the rear i was only trying to get about 1.5 - 2 inch's of lift from doing a bastard pack but i was working with springs that were given to me so i had to make do. They ended up netting me 3.5 inchs. They came off the front of a Toyota 4 runner with 4 inch lift leafs.
Rear
XJ main
XJ second
4runner Main
4runner Second
1995 F150 4x4 Shocks using the sway bar mount as BPE's
Front
Rusty's 3 inch coils, Was going to use 2 inch spacer and ZJ v8 coils but decided to just buy them since i really didn't have time to get the springs at the junkyard
1995 Wranger Shocks
got some 1/8th inch plate and made some shock mounts for them.
Front springs $100
Shocks $80
Rear spring Hardware $20
Rear springs Free.
I know that there are people that did it cheaper but i'm really happy that i spent that 100 on new springs. and with as thick as the 4 runner springs are i don't think they will sag anytime soon. I will post pictures of it flexing in the next day or two. The only thing i really would like to fine tune on this set up is finding a rear shock that is a little bit lighter duty because the front shocks give way more then the rear does but this keeps me driving.

Well i live in kansas city kansas and there is a spring shop about 20 minutes the the south of me called general spring. they have a website but i don't know if they ship but i think you can get the same stuff off rusty's and alot of other websites. I would call some of the shops in your area that work on heavy trucks they might know a place you could get the stuff locally.
