Not until I SAS it... which may or may not happen. And if I do, I will do the minimum lift to get the solid axle under it. (2.5-4") depending on who you ask.. a topic I am researching at my leisure as it will likely be quite some time before it happens.

I already know mine are sagging since I can't crank it to the bumpstops and being an 88 I know why they are lol.

I got a set of 285's to run and I wanted it level but with it being close to the stops now, not sure if I should bother with used bars or not, was going to get some junkyard bars and change mine out

i have to go get a quote because i was looking around on summitracing last night and found a 3inch body lift for like $160 and if they want $350 then id consider doing it myself

That is the kit WITHOUT front bumper brackets fyi

 

[Swims350]

maybe not the kits they have for $180 has the fronts but no rears.

I thought the kits with front only were 2xx something, I could be wrong, won't be the first time lol

id go with new if possible so you dont have to worry about any used issues


and i was just messing around last night trying to find random things and came across that kit, im really not in the mood to do the work anyways right now, i have alot on my plate as it is with everything else so id rather just have a shop do it and same me the aggrivation

have you seen new torsion bar prices? like 200-300 a bar, I think not. I'll do a solid axle setup before I do that or go with a 6 inch lift and then lower the back some or something.

 

[silverado13]

nah i never honestly price them, i dont think i could bring myself around to doing a solid axle swap because it just reminds me to much of a ford and where i come from you can get shot for driving a ford

use a chevy axle lol. but nah for the high price of new t bars I'd lift the ifs stuff and make it level, or just find solid axle stuff.
