best lift? prerunner/rockcrawler/dailydriver

[mike83blazer]

I have an 83 blazer. I was thinking about a 4" roughcountry suspention lift with a 3" inch body lift and 33"-35" allterrain or mudterrain. any comments?

Thanks

i've heard rough country is really stiff. superlift super rides are really nice springs.

The first question you must ask yourself is what do you want to setup the truck for. Rockcrawling, desert running or mall running?

Go with a BDS all spring or with a rear shackle flip. I have hidden in different 4x4 with all different types of lift. I.M.O. BDS is the best suspension at a resonable price.

A lift soft somewhere close to 4" with lots of articulated down travel, tires between 35" and 37", beefed 1/2 or 1 ton running gear, functional swaybar with disconnects, long travel custom valvable shocks and a swaybar with disconnects. Thats about as close as your going to get in covering everything unless you bypass airbag it and loosen it up a bit more for rock crawling.

how much do BDS.(4") lifts go for?

why were you hiding in different 4x4, what did the owners say, can you really tell that much by hiding out /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

You dont need those Being reliable is a major goal for mine. I like to hit the back wood trails that don't see much use. So The mods I'd recomened would be: 3/4 Ton axles (cheaper then 1 Ton, but 1 Ton is better) and either a 4" or 6" suspension lift, and 33" to 36" tires. Now I don't know how you feel about trimming fenders, so I'll leave that one alone. That'll get ya out in the woods.

What do you think of this crate motor ??? http://www.sdpc2000.com/cart.asp?action=prod_detail&amp;catid=120&amp;pid=465

 

[codeman]

$470 w/shocks. That's in Omaha, NE.

You can tell a lot about how a 4x4 rides when your hiding undeeneath a bed, clutching on for dear life while holding onto the truck's axle. OR, when your in the back seat covered with a canvas tarp, so the driver doesn't see you.

A lot of the guys on this site go w/ 4" lifts, but I prefer the 6" instead. Yes, the CG will be higher, but at least you won't have to hack as much fender.
Do not buy Rancho or Genuine Suspension springs - they are quite stiff.
As for 33 vs 35" tires, if you buy the 33s you'll always wish you had spend the extra $50 and got 35's. 33's are too small.
