I'm kinda thinking about getting a little more lift soon, and was wondering a few things. I have Skyjacker 5 inch arms and relocation brackets withSuperlift 5-5.5 inch coils. If I swapped in Skyjacker 7 inch coils, which would be more likely: The ride would be smoother because of the much softer Skyjacker coils, or the ride would be worse because of the increased lower control arm angle?
If I went with 7 inch coils could I do a BDS shackle flip, then put a smaller block instead of the factory one, to level it with the front? I have Superlift lift springs also. Would the shackle flip/smaller block improve or degrade ride?
I'm thinking about just accumulating some parts over a long period of time as I've got free cash. Coils, shackle flip kit, zero rates, new shocks. But I also thought of ,maybe switching to a longer lower control arm like a Skyjacker 7 inch style setup. I know Skyjacker doesn't sell just the arms, and I just bought the 5 inch arms and don't wanna just throw that money away yet so I was wondering if I could have someone fabricate brackets and lower arms, and use the upper arms from the skyjacker 5 inch stuff (with or without the relocation brackets), or are they the wrong lenth? Has anyone made their own lower arm brackets for a setup like this?
And lastly, what kind of tire would comfortably fit with that lift? I'm thinking 38s, if my axles won't explode instantly haha. Or maybe removing the body lift and keeping the 36s, I dunno. I probably won't end up doing anything haha.
