Post your LIFTED 2WD setup & how you use it!

[Southrnsurfr]

im looking to get a lift on my 07 classic. i dont wanna go to high but the stock stance is too low..what are u guys paying out the door (parts and labor) for the cst 4" spindle kit? (if you dont mind me asking)

[JDW904]

I paid about $1000 for the spindles, spacers, taper shims, shocks, and blocks. I got it all from performancelifts.com, they have the lowest prices for the spindles. Everything else you can find cheaper at other places, but you got to look around.

The truck was finished last week so it hasn't really been offroad yet. It will see about 70% street use and 30% offroad. It will mostly be mud and trails when offroad, I will also serve as my hunting rig. It has done good so far in the little bit of offroad it has seen so far( found a small mud hole yesterday and couldn't resist, I really need to get down to the river!) It is now averaging about 13.5 MPG with a heavy foot and 80mph on the highway. The ride is a bit stiff outback thanks to the extra leaf in the Superlift spring pack, but overall it is not bad.

Future plans: Custom UCAs so I can add more lift to the front, ss brake lines, brake rotor upgrade, and 37s once the 35s are gone.
