Are you asking for a price on scratch built or modified stock? If Modified, same question as above. The only thing I don't like about doing modified stock components, is I'm the one that gets fvcked in the end because someone doesn't send their stock pieces back. Which requires me to charge a core, driving up the price by a lot.

I need some Opinions here.

I've been wanting to put a bodylift on my truck for a while now.

I think im gonna do a 3" when I go home for Christmas. I just found out my brother has 33x14.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws, On K5 Blazer (2x10" wide, 2x8" wide.)

Should i Do it up? might have to sawzall a bit but itd look pretty mint.

I might do an axle flip when I go home too...just gotta figure that front out and Ill be all set

Could i just throw some 4x4 torsions in for now..what kind of results would I get??

I dont think you can just swap the 4x4 torsions on because the control arms look completely different.
Maybe you could get a set of the 4x4 control arms and bolt them on, but idk if the 2wd and 4wd frames are the same.

Personally, body lifts are ghey. I have to install them at work from time to time for the yuppies that don't know. When you go for a test drive the vehicle feels way different. It feels like the body is disconnected from the frame, and you feel the body roll more. Its intensified really. They just suck IMO.


As far as arms, I'd have to do a set to get a feel for cost. But I'm not about to build them for one guy, no offense. I'd need more than that. If I jig them up, and sell two sets, and then never sell anymore, I'd be better of giving both of those people $100 cash.

Well, Any other ideas to jack the front up then?
Remember those oldschool Coilover-Shocks?
Does anyone still make those?

Im still gonna do the Bodylift because it's the only way I'll ever fit 33s on my truck. Does anyone know the difference of gearing between a 2wd and 4wd?

You could always straight axle it. Thats what I would do if I built a 4WD Mazda.

I don't want a 4wd. I'd rather just get a big Cummins ram if I ever thought about converting to 4wd

Whats everyone think about a small balljoint spacer...maybe 1.5"

i think you are going the wrong way about this 33's on a 2wd come on well put a jack under in and lift till wheels are almost off ground measure distance between shock mounts and just get air shocks for the front lit expand to that length... just an idea i am ordering air shocks from monroe for my front but not to lift just to ajust check out my page for lift on air shocks on the back. monroe maxi air come in a lot of sizes
