    I have a 3" OME 883 with nitros all around and AAL in the back. I want to raise it maybe another inch or two. Is there a way to do this reliably without having to go to a full 6"? I was thinking shackles in the back but couldn't find a write up on the front. Thanks in advance.

    I wouldn't run more than 3" of front lift if you are 4wd, but if you insist just add 1.5" spacers on top of your coil/shock assemblies. Just make sure to not go off road, add like 2" wheel spacers and heimed UCAs to correct your alignment. A body lift will also yield the same results (kinda) if you don't mind the way it looks.

    I do plan on wheeling so I'll leave it be. I'll have to add 1" shackles to level the back and I'll call it quits, I just wanted slightly bigger tires

    If you don't mind cutting plastic / sheet metal just put the tires on that you want and cut to fit. I'm on about 2" of lift and running 35s.

    4.3", I'm also a 2nd gen, not a first gen. Slodgetto is running 37s on a 3" lift I think and he is a first gen.

    What size tires are u running? A lot of your lift is from the tire height. Just depends if u are looking for ground clearance or looks.
