I've never done a lift before, and I want to do a small lift my 89 w100.
I figured a body lift would be cheapest, but all I can find for kits are the blocks. No bumper brackets. Is there a company that sells a full kit? What all is involved in a 3" body lift? I figure I'll need at least a steering shaft, longer exhaust hangers and possibly new brake lines? Is it easier to just do a suspension lift?
Do a suspension lift and not a body lift.
Used rough country stuff on a new 87 ramcharger. Did springs in front and blocks in the rear. The blocks corrected for pinion angle. I also put in 4:11 gears front and back so I could run 33.5 tires and have some pulling power. It had a 360 and a quadrajet 4 barrel from the factory.
I used it as a DD for 8 years and 88K miles plus towing a 21' boat back and forth from Lake Cummberland in Kentucky for like 5 years. Then I sold it to a local mopar guy who still owns it. I also raced it with nitrous oxide both at the drag strip(ran 14.5, same as 5.0 mustangs at the time) and in the sand at the sand drags.
