    I have a first gen with a 6" db lift. The suspension is shot so I'm looking at my options. Any suggestions on what to do next? I've considered pulling the db and welding the crossmember back on then going 3". Also considered getting new coilovers for front and for the rear getting Alcan 6" springs to replace the block and stock leaf springs. Thanks

    I like that I can fit 35's under it and the clearance. Other than that I'm not too attached to the height. It's also got a 3 inch body lift that I will be pulling off here shortly.

    And cost is definitely a factor in all of this

    No it's a 6" db lift and 3" body. I just found out its a trail master lift and its discontimued. Probably will just weld on the crossmember and go with a 3" lift

    You could always keep the drop bracket and improve what you have but first things first get rid off the body lift go back to stock

    I'd lose the body lift and save up for some good suspension components for the 6" drop bracket lift. New leafs for the rear and coilovers for the front.

    Any suggestions on coilovers? The current ones are the stocks with a 6" puck on top

    Alright I'll look into it. And for removing the body lift do I have to replace the pucks with another bushing or can I just bolt it back on flush to the frame?
