Mild Lift

[Triplel40]

Hey, I'm looking into a mild lift for my 88 RCLB, and have stumbled upon a local Skyjacker C256 lift. Contains A-Arms, Diff Brackets, and rear add-a-leafs. Anybody ever used this lift? Says its supposed to be 2-2.5" of lift, and it looks like it drops the diff some, so it would be a little more CV axle friendly than torsion keys. Any thoughts?

All that work for only 2-2.5" of lift? You'd be better off doing a 2" or 3" body lift

Thing is, I've gotta tear the front end apart anyways to replace all the bushings, so I'll have it apart anyways...figured I'd just slap it up in there while I'm at it.

Why not get a 4-6" rcx lift for the same price?

Do this....

all the skyjacker kit is really is a glorified T bar crank

only four options for a lift in my mind-

crank the stock keys 1"-2"

body lift 2"-3"

Suspension 4"+6"

SAS 8" +

Guess I should have specified a price....I can get this Skyjacker for around $100...new in box...

New 4" RC is $970.95

what he says. those kits are not worth it. just save yourself $100 and crank the t-bars.

All the kit does is allow you to over crank the t-bars because the upper a arms are designed to bend around the droop stop
