    Default Finally getting my lift!



    Ordering my lift tomorrow (finially) I am going with the indy4x 3" lift with no shocks and I am going to asked them to upgrade the add a leafs with the complete OME springs (https://www.independent4x.com/merchantm ... ucts_id=16).

    I already have longer rear shocks and I am saving some cash by leaving out the t-bars and tie rods for now. I will replace them as they break.

    Looking for opinions on any thing else I may need like axle shims or anything else.

    pretty basic, leaf springs and shackles in the rear and a t-bar crank in the front. Looking to get about 3" in the rear and 2.5" in the front. Getting under there will be a good time to do a good inspection of the rest of the under carriage.

    How do the Isuzu care for the t-crank? I know rangers and explorers like it, but sacrifice in some other areas.

    The only downside I have heard of is loss of some down travel, the kit comes with ball joint spacers to correct my angles up front. But some people also say they don't notice it. That is why I only plan to do the 2.5" in the front. I wish I had access to a fork lift to text flex before and after.

    Most the Isuzu guys say with the ball joint spacers and the the actual lift happens the stocks stay in pretty much the same position at natural. But it is defiantly something to keep my eyes on as I go.
