I'm definitely on a budget. I was going to go hnt route but for just a little more I can get a "real" sye. And then save the $$$ on the driveshaft. I can get one at junkyard for 15 put new u -joints and grease fittings on it.

They all do the same thing haha, but if you build up the tcase then the HD new output shaft would be best

That's why I put in the air quotes. Lol.

I honestly am just more comfortable with swapping parts rather than sawing off an output shaft and drilling into it. Plus I feel like they are gouging people on the hnt tap kits. It seems like they should be around 70-80 bucks Max. Its just a yoke and some bolts.

im about to install a budget lift on my 99 sport, just untill i can get a 3" springs kit with leafs.. question ; the kit is only 3" spacers and 1.5-2.5" shackles. if i take the isolator off and make the front lift about 2" i shouldnt need a tc drop or anything right now should i? and after i add the springs kit, where is the best/chepest place to get a SYE

Can I use 4-5 inch lift shocks on a 3.5 inch lift?

firewalker

Got a question. Got a 5.5 rubicon long arm kit. Can I put a 3" coil spacer and a longer pitman arm to level it out. Springs are sagging a bit

BNJeepsta

A rubicon lift sagged 3"?! I didnt know that was possible

firewalker

No didn't sag 3" but it has sagged about an inch or so and the kit is set up to ride lower in the front than the rear. I would like it to sit level or even a inch higher in the front. Is this a good idea or bad. Should I just order 8" springs. Tryin to save some cash. Thanx for any info

BNJeepsta

Get 2" spacers from iron rock offroad. They are mad cheap. And at that height a drop pitman arm wouldn't hurt. 3" spacers are out there but that's a lot for a spacer imo. Rubicon makes 7.5" coils I believe. Check out serious offroad products website or hit him up in the vendor section

firewalker

Thanx. I'll look into them. I know I need a pitman arm with more drop. I am already having some bump steer issues. Thought I would go 3" because I didn't want to go 2 and wish I had went higher. I measured from the ground to the body line and it's 4" lower by the front turn signal than in the back. Assuming the body line is straight witch I think it is.

BNJeepsta

You could always go with the 7.5" coil and use spacers to dial it in

Anyone have any problems with 4WDs fixed lower control arms? Or comments about them? I really need some since I put the 5.5" lift on but I'm very broke right now. Any ideas? 4WDs are only 160 for apair.

firewalker

You think that's a better idea than just putting the 3" spacers on the coils I have. The new springs are going to run about 180$ and the spacers are only like 50$

Im planning on getting a 4.5 inch lift in the summer when im making more money, but i still dont wanna spend a lot. So im trying to decide what brand to get that is cheap. does anyone know how the zone lifts are? Im trying to decide on Rough Country or Zone.

DieselD

I'm going to be ordering a 4.5" long arm lift from Rough Country next week. I'd recommend them right now. Hope they do me well.

I looked at zone before and they're 4.5" kit only comes with an add a leaf. I would suggest getting new leaf springs.
