Title: what do I need for a 3" lift
Post by: McClare on April 16, 2007, 05:23:54 PM

I'm new to the lift thing so bear with me. I got a 92 comanche 4.0, 4x4 shortbox. I'm looking to put a 3" suspension lift on it and not quite sure what I need. I was thinking rear leaf spring shackles, u-bolts, shocks front and back, springs, and maybe a pittman arm. I'm going to get standens to add a leaf and re-arch the springs. Is there anything else I would need and is there anyone that sells the shackles for a 3" lift? I seem to be having a hell of a time finding the shackles.

Thanks

I found this, but why is this so much cheaper than something from national 4x4? I know they don't do the spring over axle on this one, but will this mess anything up with my driveshaft or any other parts? I'm not going to be taking my truck rockcrawling, but I'd like it offroad sometimes. It's more just for the look
