Default Looking for a few more inches? Possibly.
Hey guys just wondering how i could get a few more inches of lift with out using a body lift? ive got a 6'' suspension looking for maybe 3 or 4 more inches. Is it possible without body lift?

umm crank up the torsions will only give ya max 2 ince but kill the ride quality and to goo any higher in the rear you would need custom made leafs

Besides a 2" coil spacer, you won't be able to get any more out the front end. A body lift is going to be your best bet.

What's wrong with a body lift, btw?

What were planning on doing with the rear? I hope you're not going for the mega-cali lean.

Oh absolutely not! I just didnt want to have to deal with realigning that bumpers and if i had to put step on the side it would look funny.
