Yes another lift question...

I did some reading around and still like to ask you guys and potential gals.

I have Blistin 5100 w/ OEM 877 springs or 887... and AAL's in the rear. Also with a 1" dif drop. It gives me 2" up with a another inch with the tires for a total of three from stock. I need a little more for frame clearance the cheapest way possible. Will I be able to use spears and blocks or do I need to spend a lot.

Thanks in advance.

 

You've kind of answered your own question "I need __ in the cheapest way possible....do I need to spend a lot". If you need something in the cheapest way possible, then get it in the cheapest way possible. Few people here will be in favor of spacer lifts. I would ask....why do you need more clearance in the cheapest way possible?

 

And why oh why are you running a diff drop

 

What are you trying to clear, height from the ground total such as differential clearance or turning / articulating larger tires?

 

I guess my question was can I add just spacers and blocks to my current set up? I've really gotten in the "overloading" and rallying and during the Red Clay Rally I hit my frame a few good time. Rock sliders are definitely on my list, but that will be down the road and cash is an issue at the moment.

As for the dif drop, I was told and read it helps with keeping the driveshaft better aligned for longevity of the components.

Forgive me for my ignorance, very new to the mechanics and workings to off-road vehicles. My background is track bikes.

Thanks for the input

 

Get rid of the diff drop, consider your next tire to be a 255/80 or 85 tire depending on if you have a 17 or 16 inch wheel as a cheaper alternative to getting your frame higher. Anything above 2 inches on the suspension is going to put you in new UCA's and above 3 inches you would need to consider going long travel for what you want to do to have it right.
