4" lift vs. 6" lift

[david85]

I run a shackle reversal from these guys, and also a shackle flip for the rear.

Their stuff is really well made.
I installed a 3" shackle reversal with 4" springs in front.
And a shackle flip with 6 inch springs and no lift blocks in back.

I'm running a little overloaded. but you get the idea.
Those are 42"s with a lot of fender work.
But you can run 37"s with only a 4 " lift.

The bodylifts that are usually sold need to use part of the stock hardware, as well as the stock rubber bodymounts as well. If your truck is not corroded, then follow the instructions on the body lift. Usually the rear cab mounts are the hardest to take apart.

I'm from Panama City, Panama. I don't use my truck as much anymore. Now I use it mainly for play.
I'm a member of the local 4x4 club. We do several runs a year to communities that don't have good trails to take donations. These places usually need a horse, or boat to get there about half the year. In dry season the trails are usually cut with an earthmover by the government, so the people can get stuff in and out. But rains destroy the roads almost immediately.

We usually get school supplies, toys, clothes and any stuff we can get to give to the kids in these remote communities.
Having the biggest 4x4 i get the bulk of the transport duties.
I'm also member of the rescue commitee, so if a jeep gets stuck, or broken out in the middle of nowhere. My truck usually gets rescue task also.
