extend brake lines. t case drop or sye. longer shocks. maybe new control arms.

but imo spacers and blocks blow... especially if it goes of road.

Just get some steel square stock. 6"x2"(LxW) 1" thick. Drill 2 holes and your set. Maybe $10 in steel.

How high do u plan on going? Everyone gets vibes at different heights. I run 6" and only get a slight vibe. I'm shimming my axle once I figure out how to do it. I'd say up to 4.5" u should be fine with a TC drop. But I'm interested in hearing what everyone else thinks....

That's the best way to do it. Especially if u want to go higher in the future. Which always happens lol.
