Do they make them?

You can just do what everyone does and put a spacer on the top shock mount and cut a bit away from the bottom arms and c hub. Or there was a guy on here making some aluminium top shock mounts with 2 different settings. His website is tptuning.com and I believe that is his username as well. That is all I know of to do with "lift kits".

What they said... just put on longer shocks or add spacers at the top end of the stock ones. And clearance the arms and knuckles to get more droop. For the rear you can just put on longer shocks. Go too far though and it handles poorly. I have 4 inch shocks on my rear and I had to reposition them to lower the chassis down a bit because I kept rolling over.

Do you have any pictures of this?

Also, does going with a 4 link in the back allow for more lift?

SuperN00B here, just getting started figuring all of this out.

The stock rear setup is appalling as the trailing arm is way too flexible and gets caught up on everything. I chnaged to a 4 link rear setup with 90mm shocks and it made a huge performance increase but did raise the rear a lot.

90mm in the back. what did you use in the front to level it off ?

70mm in the front but I adjusted the body (fj40 land cruiser) so you couldn't tell the difference.
