Custom lift kit:
Attachment 30384

The complete opposite of slammed:
Attachment 30385

I just looked through the thread. It looks like I was thinking the same thing for the lift. I'm guessing the 4" comes from bottom bolt center to bolt center on the knuckle. I'm trying to determine if I can pull it up 2". Did you use grade 8 bolts and what about the spacers?

I definitely like the plow attachment. I can see baja bumper bars on the front/ mild deer protection. I'm guessing that your blow bolts onto the unibody channels below. Did you drilled like 2 holes about 2" apart per side and then just slide the bolt through or did you cut the front and use box channel and slide it into then bolt it to the sides? Did you have to cut your sway bar links or where you able to keep them?

I wanted to lift it because yea i got the stock 14"s but the front is down so low, that I dont like slowing/stopping just to get across railroad tracks. I'm also interested in the possibility of just upgrading the front struts. I have to dig around to see if the strut is something standard. So then I can look around and different shock manufacturers. I'm also trying to learn the sizing/ standardization for springs.

Correct on the 4" piece. I used grade 8 bolts and bored some steel round stock to make the spacers.

For the plow frame, I mounted it to the front, where the bumper supports mount, and on the bottom, I bolted it to existing holes in the front suspension cross member. So, no mods were required to the sway bar links.
