hey guys, I'm new to this forum. Not new to the comanche life though. But i do have a few questions that i need help with.
Just picked up an 87 Comanche Longbed Completely stock just yesterday, recently had an 88 that was too much for my needs
I bought the truck to haul my dirtbike around and have a cool looking truck, won't be doing much crawling, probably 95% dirtbike truck and 5% offroad (nothing serious)
I just bought 15x8 pro comp and 32x11.5x15 km2
I'm aware that the XJ and MJ have the same front ends but the rears are different. I believe the only difference is the lengths of the leafs.
I'm currently looking for a 4.5" lift. I do not want AAL and i have found a few options that I'm considering going with.
1: Heard good reviews about the hellcreek set up but they use the rough country shocks and ive heard mixed reviews and would much rather get some bilsteins or fox shocks because i don't want a too "rough' of a ride. If i bought the set up without the shocks, would it bolt up just fine with pre existing bilsteins or fox shocks?
-OR-
2: If i buy an XJ lift and buy hellcreek MJ leaf packs, would that work and would it all bolt up just fine? then i could just sell the XJ leafs or something. i was thinking of the RC 4.5' short arm kit and its fairly cheap and id probably get some new shocks and be done. So it would be XJ lift, HC leafs, Bilstein Shocks.
-OR-
If you guys have any other options about a 4.5" lift?
I appreciate all of the help in advance, I'm ready to pull the trigger on a lift, just want the best option so i don't have to re-do it in the future.
Thanks Guys!
