Well I just stumbled across this place. I recently picked up a 86 hatch as my DD while I work on my YJ. I picked the car up from work cheep 150 bux. I neded a ride while rebuilding my jeep. Sence getting this little bugger its so much fun I havent even touched my jeep. But I have one problem. I like to cruze the gravel on my way home check some traps shool a gun or 2. Well almost every day i get a flat im shure due to cheep 3 ply car tires. I see all thes lifts but im not going to put a 400 dollar lift on a 150 dollar car i mainly drive to and from work 30 miles round trip.

 

 

I looked arond here and saw lots of spacer lifts. Now fab is not a problem 4 me. but do you all just drop the struts or do you lower the lower cradel also.

How much power did you all lose with bigger meats

 

here are a few pics to show what i usualy pay with

 

my jeep

 

 

my old toy

 

my durango

 

 

 

you all get the picture

to lift a hatch, you would need 2 inch spacers on the front struts and adjust the rear lifter thingy all the way up.

 

someone else can clarify on what im trying to say

Should have kept the Toyota. Forget the heep

What...no pics of the soob!!!

you'll want to read Frequently Asked Questions: Tires Wheels Lift Kits Mods for offroading Soobs....

 

there are a couple links in there to a do-it-yourself homemade lift...

Or this 2" is probably one of the cheapest and easiest:

yeah, except...

 

I wouldn't try this style suspension lift on a gen 2. The shorter axles just get too stressed at such angles, in my opinion anyways. You'd really need to do a full lift to get much life out of your axles.

 

camo has a gen2...

 

so he's going to need to install a full body lift in order to get bigger tires under there to give him the real lift...

when i can pry the camra from the woman ill get pics up.

 

 

I read several diy lifts and just saw no mention of doing aney thing to the lowers so i figured id ask

 

 

 

 

also my soobie died on me today found that the factory 220k fuel pump finaly died 46 bux later where on the road with more power than ever

Yeah, okay, maybe not the cheapest...in the long run. EA82 axles can take it, if you could swap those out too. Then you may as well pay the dough for a good kit, like SJR or Bill O. The fact that you got it so cheap, just makes for a less expensive project!

dident really need a nother project but it seems to be heding that way

 

i have been sick all week went to work 3 days should have stayed home more
