I know this is a common question but I've searched and found no answer. I want to get a 2" lift kit and a 2" body lift. Do i need to get a front drive shaft or anything else other than just the lift kit and the bl?
Thanks

 

Need info about your vehicle. Year, model to start. As a general rule as long as you stay under 3" of suspension lift you'll be fine with stock driveshafts. The body lift makes no difference in driveline angles, just leaves ugly gaps between body and frame.

Dont do a body lift. Get a 3" lift from rovertym. It will look, Feel and all around be so much better!

 

I would but im on a budget. a terrafirma hd 2" lift from british pacific is only $499 plus a rovertym bl for $260. A 3" lift from rovertym is $1385. That $600 difference will pay for tires.

If i could get a 3" lift for around the same price i would do it. Or would it be smart to get the 3" spring and shock but not get the rear links and front radius arms?
Thanks

 

Could do a 2" lift then add 1" spacers to give around 3" of lift. Personally I think a 2" lift with bigger tyres is enough for most people. If you go that high (3") you will probably "eat" propshaft rotoflexes and you will also need extended brake and ABS lines aswell, infact on my D2 I just exteneded the brake hoses with a 2" lift as they were at max stretch with the new Terrafirma +2" shocks installed

 

Just buy a set of 3" RTE coils and a set of OME long shocks from Bill at Great Basins Rovers in Salt Lake City and you will have a good set up.

 

With that setup do i need the rear links and radius arms? brake line extensions?

 

And some extended brake lines!!!, and and dont forget the front prop will clout the cross member as well with long shocks, so that needs spacing down to

 

what do i need to space the front cross member?
