Why not install longer shocks? How much are you trying to lift it?

[paulmitchell1984]

not sure how much i want to go, hence asking what people had done.

may look into longer shocks, was trying to see what could be done with standard kit though 1st

[oldsalero13]

Why not just go with a taller tire?

[SCREAMER]

Taller tires, tummy tuck, high clearance links, longer shocks, portal axles, the sky's the limit.

[paulmitchell1984]

whats the tummy tuck?

any info on high clearance links as this is what i was thinking.

[axialspawn]

Tummy tuck is when you move the skid plate from the normal rail it is bolted to up to the one above it. You then cut away the rail it was previously on and your done ! This gives you more clearance but also a tad higher centre of gravity, so balance the amount of each.

Titanium Mike is a vendor on here and makes high clearance links. If you get VP Ti links you can turn them 90 degrees from the way they are normally mounted and have high clearance links. You're basically looking for lower links with one or two bends in them.

Yeah, these will get you some clearance. I wonder if the Wraith wheelbase is even long enough. Lol

Since you didn't share with us on what type of build you are after, the answers are going to be vague. There are many options to go but we need to know what you are trying to achieve in order to give you a more accurate advice. If you just want it super tall and don't care about it being top heavy, than all the advice given will do it for you. If you want to avoid all the technical stuff like the tummy tuck etc and just want height, than get 130mm plus shocks and a lift kit and be done with it, but remember, balance is key. Your pinion angle is going to be incorrect, drive shaft may be at max extended length etc. Lots of bad things and poor performance is going to affect this build. Unless of course its going to be a shelf queen? Good luck!
