ya im not sure if its cranked or not . . . i mean it feels pretty stiff but yet

soft so im not sure il find out sometime this week when i get it back . . .

if i get a good deal on this set of tires and i need another inch to clear them

then il crank it more and add a 3 inch or 4 inch block whichever and i think

that should be fine if not il just get a size smaller lol . . . i didn't realize

how complicated it would be to lift it alot higher

your chasing your tail here. Cranking and a 3-4" block isn't going to give you what you are after. You might....might be able to get 1-2" up front on that truck, that's it. Get us a picture of teh front set up so we can see the angles as well as the set up for the rear.

This will tell us what you can get out of it

alright man il do that as soon as i get my truck back . . . the way i

understood it was you crank the keys and it

raises the front and i figured i would just go with a bigger block on both

ends to keep it even may not even need to crank it . . . what i need to do

is take it to big o and see how big of a tire i can fit under it and how much

higher i may need to go and just basically build my basis around the

tire . . . i may not need it at all but id still like it to look lifted and have

room and not be hugging the tires you know what i mean . . . i just got

confused in one grate big mess with this hole deal lol . . . il post some

piks up soon as i can and do some searching online some more . . .

thanks for answers

or maybe see what i can get out of the front like you said maybe 1-2 inches and

just swap out the block in the back to even the truck . . . that would be cheaper

wouldn't it but also make it ride harder right

I've just been catching up with this thread, but are you talking about adding a 2inch lift block in the rear or are you talking about buying a bigger lift block?

Either way, oh my. Just shackle flip the rear and buy some lift springs if needed. Don't use blocks that tall. And whatever you do, DO NOT STACK LIFT BLOCKS.

 

[bowtiefreak]

Lifting the back isn't going to change the fact that the front can't go much higher without new kit or complete change of suspension up front.

completely understand no stacking . . . heres what i thought was on my

i thought this is how the setup was suppose to be . . . you got your suspinsion lift

on and then you got 2 inch blocks on the front and the back right that

is the only way that makes since to me . . . what i was tlking about

was swaping out my blocks for a bigger one to clear big tires . . . im

almost positive i can clear 38s or 39s easyily but if i get this deal on

a set of 40s then i wanna add bigger blocks on my truck instead of doin

anything to the suspinsion lift . . . or a shackle flip becouse that only

lifts the rear end right . . . i don't know how this thread got so confusing

lol

so i can't add a bigger block up front to go higher

As it sits right now i know you can clear 37's. That is what he had on there at one point

37's

 

[bowtiefreak]

no blocks can be used up front for many reasons. I'll leave it at that.

i really like the look of the baja's but i would love to see what boggers would look

like on it . . . iv googled so many times and can't really find a simular truck to

compare . . . i just wished they would humm like boggers do

If you can find where to add blocks up front, I'll send you $5 dollars for finding it.

However, no lift block of any sort should ever be used on a front axle. Ever. Totally unsafe and would qualify as ghetto fab/hackjob

Here's the bottom line. If you want to clear (and handle) 38's or 39's, you WILL need a Solid Front Axle. Also, I really don't think it will hold together with 38's or 39's with the factory IFS.

No offense man, but you're not ready to tackle a Solid Axle Conversion. If you're dead set on it, start researching. Keep reading into it. I've been reading and planning now for the last 2 years. I still don't really know when mine will ever get done. It's a lot more than cutting some old parts out and bolting on some new parts.

dude no offense taken you ain gonna offend me . . . and your totally right
i dnt have the place or the tools to do that . . . i just figured since i

dnt have no front drive shaft for my 4x4 it shouldn't really hurt with

the ifs i got . . . i mean i really dnt ever get off road less its to hunt or

fish every once in a while but even then i still dnt have 4x4 . . . but i

plan on getting an extra set of rims so if i do get these bigger tires

you know when i wanna go play in the mud once i get my drive shaft and
hope to god the guy before me put the same gears up front as the back

i can just throw the smaller tires on to go get muddy lol even tho

my road tires are most likely gonna be boggers lol messed up huh . . .

and i do not understand this block issue you guys are giving me lol

my bronco had a 3 inch block on the front and the back of the frame

and then we fabricated new shock mounts to set them down lower for a

little more lift . . . the blocks were between the frame and body like any

block would be right . . . idk its no big deal if i can't clear em i won't get

em no big deal but i know they should clear fine

If I was you, I'd talk to the former owner of it and see what all has been done to it. He's a member on here and GMFullsize.

You have a 6inch suspension and a 2inch body lift right now correct? Which you could run about a 37 inch tall tire. You could take out the 2inch body lift for a 3inch and MAYBE tuck 38's with some trimming if needed.

But remember, IFS+38's is not what I'd be running if it was me. 37's if it's built correct. 38's are pushing it.

If it was me dude, I'd keep it how it is now. Maybe add some 37's on it. It's a clean looking truck as it sits man

I don't think it has the same gears front and rear

Yes it has a 6" and 2" BL

why go bigger though? it looks big enough and the 4wd doesnt even work so kinda pointless. bigger trucks can gett annoying are are pretty usless. mines only got 5 inches on 35s and its a pain when i have to load my latters on the roof. i wouldnt want it any higher. but if your going for looks the i guees the 3inch bl and crank if ya want to fit the 40s and ride like a tank lol

This. One reason I'm looking to buy something as a daily driver. It's not practical to do anything with. Other than wheeling or showing off to other people.

Get your front diff regearded. Get a front driveshaft and have fun with it man. It sits up pretty high as is.

ya i thought the body lift was a block i guess i missunderstood becouse when i put

the blocks on the bronco i thought you just called it a body lift but i found out its

completly illegal for block to be in the front . . . but im really mad to find out that

it might not be geared same as the back . . . i was just looking for a easy fix for

40 inch tires but its no big deal like yall said 37's do look good on it and i know

those will fit no prob . . . lol i don't gotta put nothing on top my rig tho so that dnt

hurt nothing if it goes higher . . . i look more into it bout 38's and see how much

trimming i gota do

 

[the big blue bus]

id do that... maybe have to trim bumper corners and hit fender edge in.

side note.. any pics on how he did the lights in diesel bumper? im about to put mine back in and need to figure a better mounting way

hey man i appriciate your input on everything i don't want you thinking

im ignoreing you or anything its just i don't ever really seeing my self

getting the front drive shaft for it so bigger tires should't do any harm

but i just got another set back on the tires any way but i might have

another job comen to me so idk yet . . . i just know in my perspective

or my thought that if you have all that lift on a truck it would only look

right with bigger tires . . . i can't stand 35's really on anything iv just

always ben used to 40's and 38's on all my rides

You could put a bigger body lift on it.

You can also jack up the truck and check gear ratios by spinning the driveshaft and tires.
