either method of lift will likely need camber bolts. But unlike a spacer lift, lifting your front end with springs will not put your CV axles at angles that are known to destroy CV axles. I use to have a spacer lift. They ride like crap, caused my passenger axle to bind under throttle and when turning right, and I got off of them before I could blow up an axle going Offroad. I have a spring lift now and I love it. Rides better, is safer for my axles, and doesn’t sag under weight.

What kind of springs are you running?

Hey guys thanks for for the reply! I am aware of the issues with spacer lifts but I was hoping to rectify any camber issues with camber bolts which I here is pretty common for these. And yet again the idea is to get something somewhat off roadable for as little as possible. I’m hoping there’s problems so I can keep posting on here:)

Where I thought I was gonna mount it

Well here’s the challenge! How expensive is it really to start 4x4in?!! Well I posed that exact question and decided to try and find the answer. So through a close connection( my dad) I got my hands on a 1999 Infiniti QX4! A fine automobile!!

So I started doing some research on budget 4x4 mods to do to my interesting new project and found a few. So to start I got on google and found 2.5 inch lift spacers for $162.99. Then got on to offer up because I figured if I’m lifting it I’m gonna need bigger tires! Right? So I found a used set of 265/75r16 Toyo mud Terrain that are at about half life. Paid $100 for them and was pretty happy with that. Then I decided to hit OfferUp again looking for a off road bumper for this rig because before I got it it was in a front end collision. Found one but was for a Yj Jeep. Gonna have to do some modding but so far it looks like it will fit nicely with a little massaging. And then I had a thought.” What’s a 4x4 if you cant see where you are going? Time to look for a light bar.” Got on amazon and after some research I found a 33000 lumen 52inch light bar that I thought would look and work awesome for my application. So I ordered it! As I was sitting there thinking about what else a man might need if he is stuck in the wilderness. Then it dawned on me. A good old fashioned CB radio, if your broke down you can radio for help or if your just checking in with a buddy a little ways down the trail from you either way a very useful tool! So I’m working on installing all my new toys and will come back on and update and upload some pics as progress is made! Thanks for reading!
