Ok, I can't just watch you throw your money away. Before you throw away your money with an ifs lift, search around for ball joint spacers, cruiser coils, downey coils, and 4crawler body lifts. Do you search on yotatech.com and 4x4wire.com. Use your stock tbars unless you're going to put on a heavy bumper and winch.

You can easily fit 33" tires. Throw in at least a rear locker. Go out and off road for at least a year, put some dents in your skid plates, break some stuff, test your limits, then decide where you want to go. People have run the rubicon on the same setup as I've outlined above.

man my skidplate is rusted to hell and back due to the scrapes and dents on it had my last runner on its side and this one aswell ive got 33s already all i wanted to know is about how much and what axle would be good for the swap im throwing a rebuilt motor and tranny with some extars on both me having enough is my problem but thanks for the consern unless your telling me that the solid axle isnt worth it and that the ifs is better

well lets face it SAS has that hard core real mc coy off road look your could do so serious shit with it. but on the other hand its not really good for speed and stability but if your susp was pretty stiff with the SAS then idk. with SAS liftin will be cheaper than ifs lifts. i suppose if u were to some how happen to find a solid axle for cheap like a junk yard or old truck at a barn and you were to buy all the parts then do it yourself with help of course i guess it would be cheap. on the other hand not everyone has a gas or elec wielder at home or the time and the devotion. shop work would be more expensive and slightly better applied (depends on shop) 5g's sounds about right i guess that would be for a really good job.

thanks alot rogerman for your input i love my ifs just for the clearence but for the overall i think i need more im not a real mud person but where i live there isnt muck else other than some washouts and dirt roads nothing would make me happier than to do some rock crawling but thats some ways down the road wish i new some clubs and or some trails nearby that i could ride with and on thanks again

how are the lifts they sell compared to superlift cause i havent heard any good things about the lift for my runner from people that have it thanks for the site oh got another question which suspension is better on the rearend the coils or leaf springs and is it possible to switch them out because some of the people that ive talked to that have the same lift that im may be getting complained about the rear starts to sag again and they have to get coil spacers to level it back out and i dont want to do that at all any imput on that great thanks again
