1989 longbed looking for a lift


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

 

                  Just got this back from the paint shop and I'm looking to find a good looking lift that doesn't mess up steering and ride performance.  I only plan to have 32" tires and I'm looking for either 3" -4 1/2" lift.  Which one is what I'm hoping for you to help me decide.  I'm thinking something quality and hoping that $2500 or less could handle it.  Please give your feedback on what works and hopefully a kit that would also take care of all angle changes for steering and drive line etc.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I drive in the snow, freeway and light off road.  I want to keep this as commuter for a while and would be nice to have all the right parts and do it once, with little regrets.

 

 

Thanks in Advance

New guy to Comanche's (2 years) and only have the experience of the one lift, recently had Installed Old Man Emu front coils & spacers, JKS  upper & lower control arms , adjustable track bar, quicker disconnects , bump stops , bushings etc. went with a spring manufacture from Canada, distributed by Rusty's Old Man Emu shocks.

Dirk at DPG off road worked with me on putting it all together. Very Happy with it should be close to what your thinking in price not including labor or tires of course

For 32's you don't need any more than 3" if you are willing to bumpstop and trim the front fenders a bit.

Hell Creek makes lift leafes for our MJ's. General springs makes some MT leafs.

I have about 3" lift. ZJ Upcountry coils and additional isolator up front, MJ bastard pack + longer shackles in the rear.

For anything above 3-3.5 " lift I recommend CAD brackets

Agree, Dirk has been around for a long time. He's very knowledgeable, always willing to help, and knows what works well for your requirements and not so well. Recommend giving him a call for sure.
