for a lift kit can I put spacers to lower engine 2" and have 3" strut extentions? without too much issues with the front axles?Thanks in advance.Now that I will be starting a new job I will have money for a lift kit..

more info about the car would be good here......

yep, that's pretty much the only way to do it

car is a 1984 brat.Im just looking for a little more clearance under the front.but will the axles take the strain?

yes, a 1" difference is not very much. that's how ALL three lift companies make their lifts.

Im pretty sure my 3" lift drops the motor 3" and the suspension 3" to retain stock CV geometry.

i have 4" at the motor and struts,3" at the tranny crossmember .fine on angles.

I'm building a 1" drop for the enginesubframe, 5" drop for the struts, redesigned control arms, and new lower subframe to support them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I'm using a t-case and differential up front.

3" strut extensions with only 2" crossmember extensions will give you more positive (bad) camber.

I suggest getting more clearence via tire sizing.

Depends on how you build you strut extensions. They can be built to compensate for this.

But if you compensate for this in the strut lift you also need that BFH for the strut towers... Not what I like to do to mine nice lttle roo.

My 3" lift needed some BFH work done near the strut mounts. OUt of sight, out of mind.

Mine actually doesn't have strut tower extensions or even strut towers! It does have full camber adjustment though!

 

BFH, sawsall, welder... I guess my roo's a little less precious

 

That's an EA81 hatch engine compartment BTW despite the motor etc.

 

^^ NICE!!

 

my 4" AA kit has 4" strut, and 3" engine and tranny....

 

my 3" BYB EA82 kit (first one in the US), has 3" strut, and 2" engine and tranny...
