Only 2†of lift because I'll never need the 5†of lift, I don't really do any off-roading but I do use it around the property and daily driving. 2†of lift seems perfect for me, not too big but just enough. Also going to 32-33†tires I would need to re-gear to at least 4.56. With the 31†tires I would only need 4.10 and that would put me super close to the stock configuration meaning the speedo wouldn't be off and I wouldn't be under geared for towing. I can go to a junkyard today and get a 7.5 rear end with a LS and 4.10 gears (the 7.5 over the 8.8 because the 7.5 is cheaper and I won't need to get anything, it'll bolt in completely and I can re use most if not all hardware.) I did some deeper research today and I'll post some pictures later/tomorrow of what I found. I might have answered my own question.
Just suggestion ! No harm, no foul !
First off sorry I didn't think on the re-gearing... 31" with a 4-cylinder is going to give you trouble also.
2" of lift is going to interesting to see what you come out with... !
Good Luck on the project, post as you go !
p.s.
Just me... but, is it possible for you to change your FONT ?
I changed you posting above it is so much easier to read than what you use.
Just saying !
My bad if I came across rude or anything, I didn't mean too lol. Trust me, I would LOVE a 6†lift on 33â€s, but like you said a 4 banger with 31â€s is already probably pushing it. I've got some used 31x10.50 tires on the way today.
Also, sorry about the font. I've been meaning to change it back but I kept forgetting. I also lightened the color too, thank you for reminding me.
No problem or as I say to my Granddaughters "No Biggy" !
The Font thing bugged the pi$$ out of my but as I always say, it is what it is !
I looked for a 4x4 with a 4 cylinder for a while before buying my '03, I don't think they make a 4x, 4-Cyl.
Your truck sounds like it should be good after the mods, my EDGE had Torsion Bars, but it is a 4x, it has been a great truck. but no 4-cyl... just about though, with the 3.0-SLOW.
Always wanted the 5.0L Swap but never got there...yet !
Ltr, keep posting.
