[mattd123]

well im need new suspension mines really bad and i was thinking about gettind a 2" lift but 97 pathy's are unibody so i can only get suspension lift correct? will this make it taller or just flex more? what are recomendations i have limited cash and need to go to a mechaninc unles one of you guys is feeling like helping me wich i doubt so where should i go and what should i get

[RedPath88]

As they description implies, it will lift the truck 2 inches

 

Lift figures are approximate, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more.

[mattd123]

sorry mass stupidity on my part thought i read somewhere that it only increases flex

[RedPath88]

No biggy

 

You probably read something comparing a Suspension lift to a body lift and (other than lift) what each does.

[mattd123]

any recomendations on where to get it done because i cant do it myself

[mattd123]

if i got a 3 inch lift would i need to modidy the steering collum or anything? or would it be ok

No, that kit is for a WD21. Won't work on our R50's.

 

There are basically 3 suspension lifts available. There is a 1", 2", and 4.5" lift. The 1" will give you closer to 2" (for most people) and the 2" will get you about 3".

 

If you post where you're located there may be someone that can help out.

i live in Mass so im gonna bring it to a shop. i know what shop im taking it to but i need to know if im gonna need anything eles or will the steering colum be ok or will i need a new one

The steering column will be fine.

if i replace my suspension what exactly would i need. shocks, struts, coils, would i need new contol arms with a lift (only 2 inches) i know i need new bushings but what eles do i need? cant seem to find a list of things needed because i cant find a kit that comes with more than shocks struts and coils. sorry to be a pain but i always have to make sure i know what i need before starting. thanks guys

All you need is the kit. It's not a "suspension replacement", it's just new springs and shocks. There are a WHOLE lot more parts in your suspension than just those things.
