With the IFS your not gonna find anything that cheap unless you do blocks in the rear and crank the torsion bars and do a body lift.

Thats probley the Cheapest way for Sure. Do a 3 in Body Lift. 1.5in Torson Lift in the front. Block the Rear and get an alinement.

You should be able to find a 4in lift for $600 I would think...I'll look around for ya.

Body Lift from BDS.

Rough Country. But it's listed for 1500

Started looking around. Your Right.. There isn't much out there under 900.. I'd save your money a little longer and get a full kit.

Body lifts are ghey. The maximum body lift you would ever want to do is 1", any higher than that it mess with all your shifter linkages,steering column etc.

Look around, you might be able to find a lift for around $600.

Doing a bodylift and cranking the torsion bars may be cheap, but it's like buying a WonderBra, someday, somewhere, someone will know you are lying.

Save the $ and buy a real lift (no pun intended)

Mmmm, hockey pucks. No manufacture that I know of sells a 4" body lift.


Just get some balls and cut the fenders if you want to fit larger tires on a IFS rig. Remember to change your gears to match the larger tires too.
