Uberoo Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 How much lift do you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 even if you adjust the struts up the 1" available, you start to see tire wear. you either need to do a full unibody lift (most common) which lowers the engine/trans in relation to the body, or do a full custom t-case lift (4-8"minimum" dependingon what t-caseandhowmuch cutting you're willing to do) to keep the engine in it's stock location...

Mugs Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Yes pretty much for anything over 2in (5cm) you will want to remove the engine. It makes things alot easier. Keep in mind that when you lift something that much...there is a lot of custom work that needs to follow. Do a search on "lifting" and you will find lots of information on it, and how to do it.
