exactly what it says. I would like to possibly run 35's max, but maybe 33's. I need about 3-4 inches.

thats what I thought, but the only toy's I have ever messed with were the 89-94 bodystyle. I just found a site, with a 4 inch kit for like 252. it has new front springs, and aal for the back. I will probably go with a 4 inch susp and a 2-3 inch body to clear 35s.

im almost positive its true. i just couldnt remember if the norm for the rear was 5X or 6X in springs. you can put the rears in the front though for a lift.

About 1 1/2 to 2 inches.. Go to the junkyard and get two sets of factory rear's and break them down to make two taller packs and you can get about 4 1/2 out of it then..
