Hey there.
I'm new here and after some advice, so thought i'd ask some people that would know.
I'd like to know whats needed to get my Rig more capable.
Lets just say i have a 2 door auto and id like to run either 33's or 35's.
I don't to just lift it and make them fit, i'd like to lift it and have the suspension really working with the most wheel travel possible.
I'd like to do it right the 1st time rather than have to redo things.
Where's the best place to start looking for parts to do this and whats some things to keep in mind while im at it?
Thanks in advance.

Hey they, I've just done a 2inch lift on my D2 and forum help has been invaluable.

I'd say have a good search through and read the good oil and then ask specific questions about what you want to do/achieve otherwise you'll get lost amongst conflicting advice.

The other thing to be aware of is if you want your car to be legal you need to keep within a certain height change - take a look at the ADRs and advice for your state!

Good luck!

Go thru the post up your disco and mods top of this section and read what other members have done, this will give you a good idea of what is possible and what it will look like.

Its going to be used as a weekend warrior/weekend camper.
I'm not to concerned if the vehicle is goimg to sit outside what others consider road worthy. I won't be cutting corners with what i fit to it.

Have been looking through other posts, doesn't seem to be much info on where the parts come from though. Any help with that would be great.

No, was going to give them a call, from there website they say they do all sorts of rates, they just need info as to what you are running on the car. Think they are more like keep a progressive rate coil??
