The only problem with a body lift is that I wont be able to run the headers I want. What about adding a spindle lift witha suspension lift, 2" or so.

spindles and coils are for 2wd's. i only made the suggestion for a BL because you mentioned you wanted to keep the fenders intact.

as for trimming them, its not that bad. its mostly the corners of the fenders that need trimming, not the whole thing, and most of that is specifically the rear of the front fender. on my 89, i trimmed just a little bit (in my eyes) and i was able to clear 32's without any lift and infact you could say it was lowered about an inch just from the t-bars sagging after a trip or two. you can see from the pics, that rear of the front fender sometimes requires a little persuasion with a BFH, as mide did. however, even with 32's i only heard it rub maybe once and that was "flexed out" as well as the IFS could flex. it did however rub the frame and swaybar everytime simply because of the BS on stock rims.

If i were to get some of those bushwacker extend a fender flares, will it cover up most of my trimming?

possibly. i think you can even get the "cut out" fender flares and they will give you more room and still give it that clean look. i might run those if i wasnt cheap, and if they held up the impact better.

I might do that, i like the look of the wheel tucked away in the fenders where they're suspose to be, but my 31's rubbed inside the front tub on the 4" bl it had, what can you do to trim that out?

***Donahue*** · 02-13-2008, 03:32 PM

its all in that rear corner of the front fender.

BlazerKydd · 02-14-2008, 05:53 AM

i've got to say man, i do like the look of the chop top.

ChrisInVT · 02-14-2008, 10:05 AM

Yeah, the cut-outs are the way to go if you're trimming and putting on wider/bigger tires. If you find a place that carried them for a decent price LMK, I'd like to get myself some.

jc whitney usually carries all that stuff, and you can find a lot of their stuff is about $100 less then any where else. they also have a pretty good way of isolating items for you specific vechicle. that is where i am going to get mine when it comes time to.

BTW, where did you find your graphic for your truck. i'd really like to get something like that?

you know what, i didn't even notice that they were only for the front. i'm sorry about that. thanks for the info on the sig though. i'll keep looking for cut out flares.

sakustoms · 02-26-2008, 11:30 PM

What's up guys? I've been mostly doing slammed trucks but now I just bought a 96 blazer 4dr 4wd with a bad motor for $350. I got a motor for it already and I should have my TM 5" lift tomorrow. Planning 33x11.5 or close to that. Will post pics when there is something to see.

Great info in this thread..

illgetit · 04-29-2008, 11:47 AM

hey... Sup all.. i have a 98 that is starting to be a like a problem child from hell.. i just put a 6" Superlift and 33" tires now i am starting to feel a little lag when taking off.. i am thinking it either needs new gearing in trans or rear end or maybe both with a new motor.. does isn't the 4.3l good as well as the Trans.. any idea's.

ChrisInVT · 04-29-2008, 03:32 PM

in fact, truth be told, i probably had saggy bars, resulting in a lowering effect if anything.

GeorgesBlazah · 06-25-2008, 10:13 PM

I always knew you were into that lowering thing.

s10hunter · 08-23-2008, 06:19 PM

I just bought my S10 truck and it has a custom made 8in body lift. I wanna take it off but I still want to be able to clear my 33 x 12.50 Thornbirds. Does anyone know how much of a lift I will need to clear those tires? If you can help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks
Mike

shackles if you want to keep the spring rate the same, AAL's if you want to increase the payload.

[quote=89-S-Dime;3695339]Lift kits available for your IFS 4x4 S-series

Superlift 2" lift kit:
This kit comes with new torsion bar adjuster keys that attach to the rear end of the torsion bars. These load the torsion bars and determine vehicle ride height. Replacement tubular, upper control arms make realignment possible. For rear lift, the options are add-a-leafs and/or shackles. This lift is known to cause premature wear of CV boots, ball joints, idler arms and pitman arms due to the more severe angles created by the upper a-arms and t-bar crank. Although 2" to 3" can be achieved using this lift, that is the maximum and will increase wear.

Rough Country 2" lift kit:
This kit is very similar to the Superlift 2" lift. It also comes with new torsion bar adjuster keys to lift the front and new upper control arms. For rear lift it provides shackles. Also included are front shock relocation brackets and polyurethane bushings.

Rough Country has redesigned the front control arms to releave the balljoints as far as the Superlift kit goes I dont think they did.

89-S-Dime · 11-22-2008, 02:38 AM

The arms are fine, I would still use the stock keys and crank them 1.5", get a wheel alignment and call it a day

Sasq40 · 01-14-2009, 03:03 AM

how much trimming would u have to do to fit 35s on a zr2 with a 6inch susp lift?

quite a bit, as much as you could take off and they would still rub on certain occasions.

off_road_kid · 01-29-2009, 12:00 AM

ya i just joined i seen all of the info and you guys are great. i am 17 and have always love the muscle car scene until recently i started the LOVING the lifted trucks. i want to buy a mid '90's 4x4 s10 and want to throw some nice 33's on it whats the best way to get the height w/o losing stock drivability this truck will be dailey driver and see a little off road occasionally

coloRADo_S10 · 01-30-2009, 04:26 AM

2in BL, 2"shackles and crank the tbars some trimming you can fit 33s ChrisinVT did it and his truck is outta commission at the moment but a sick truck. And he should put a new motor in it.

Redneckin86 · 10-16-2009, 04:20 PM

what is the diff bewteen these lifts,

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/de...b3f 85c7ab9e&

http://www.bds-suspension.com/kits/165H

i see one has more parts then the other i would like to knwo which is better for a 04 crew cab before i purchase

GeorgesBlazah · 10-16-2009, 04:26 PM

Out of those two, you want the BDS kit. The Superlift 6 kit is an option as well. Both the SL and BDS are designed much better than the TM.

Redneckin86 · 10-16-2009, 04:27 PM

one is 2grand the other 1grand why such a major price difference?

GeorgesBlazah · 10-16-2009, 04:42 PM

One is built better than the other. You are much better off buying the BDS or SL. Save yo monies and do it once

Redneckin86 · 10-16-2009, 04:51 PM

now what is the exact tire 31" x 10.50 is that the size you can go with the 5inch? an what rim size can those be mounted on

techweenie · 10-16-2009, 09:41 PM

I can vouch for the BDS kit. It is well worth the money. I have abused mine quite a bit and the kit is holding up fine. I wish I could say the same for the oem parts...

1994dime · 10-24-2009, 05:23 PM

I wanted to get a 2" suspension lift and a 2" body lift, along with 31"x10.50 tires on 15x8 rims. I was wonderin if there is anything that would make your tires not rub the frame when at full turn? like spacers?

You answered your own question

1994dime · 10-24-2009, 05:50 PM

ok. thanks

1994dime · 10-24-2009, 05:51 PM

do you know wht size spacers?

techweenie · 10-24-2009, 06:25 PM

15x8 rims usually come with the right backspacing so they won't rub anyway. 4.5" backspacing is plenty enough to run 32's without rubbing. You could get away with more backspacing then that even. (6" is stock)

1994dime · 10-24-2009, 06:56 PM

ok, thanks

chevyboy375 · 11-01-2009, 07:53 PM

man the info really helps out when the person knows what they r talking about so thanks for the info know i can make a better choice on a lift kit for my 1994 s10

91tbi4.3 · 11-08-2009, 10:37 PM

I was wondering if you must do a sas to go more then 2" suspension lift. I would live to go 5" to fit 33/10.50 or 35/10.50, but it must be pa road leagal. Is there any kits that would be great for doing such a lift? And any sites for ball joints that can handle bein treated like a dirty w@&$?.. Just a little joke

I wanna take it off but I still want to be able to clear my 33 x 12.50 Thornbirds. Does anyone know how much of a lift I will need to clear those tires? If you can help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks Mike

These load the torsion bars and determine vehicle ride height. Replacement tubular, upper control arms make realignment possible. For rear lift, the options are add-a-leafs and/or shackles. This lift is known to cause premature wear of CV boots, ball joints, idler arms and pitman arms due to the more severe angles created by the upper a-arms and t-bar crank. Although 2" to 3" can be achieved using this lift, that is the maximum and will increase wear. Rough Country 2" lift kit: This kit is very similar to the Superlift 2" lift. It also comes with new torsion bar adjuster keys to lift the front and new upper control arms. For rear lift it provides shackles. Also included are front shock relocation brackets and polyurethane bushings. Rough Country has redesigned the front control arms to releave the balljoints as far as the Superlift kit goes I dont think they did. Last edited by 2002crewcab : 11-14-2008 at 05:55 PM.
