It only took me a year to get on this... the lift will be 3" rubi coils, lift shackles, extended braided brake lines, trimmed fenders... 33" boggers... back is done, and the rake looks silly for now... I know, extended shackles are horrible and boggers are the worst tire ever... got it, thanks... :-)

The good thing is that now you can wheel as you save up for some full leaf springs for the rear. From experience, lift shackles end up inverting your spring pretty quickly where you have a negative arch. Its all about money and that sure doesn't grow on tree's, but I have seen folks (and I have done it myself) build bastard packs on the real cheap (sometimes free) that work great.

Call around to some 4x4 shops in your area and see if they have any old leaf springs that they aren't going to use (from take-offs from other customers). I betcha after a few calls, you will have some.

I like the tires myself but as mentioned look at what the lift shackles have done to the leaf springs already, you have a negative arch. Be careful if you go wheeling that way as the leaf pack may break or could happen on the highway I guess.


Be safe and take your time we have all had to do that in our builds go slow to save some money.


Good luck!!

I guess it don't matter but when I installed those shackles I had the flat to the back.
