RedPath88 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 As they description implies, it will lift the truck 2 inches Lift figures are approximate, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 No biggy You probably read something comparing a Suspension lift to a body lift and (other than lift) what each does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmorgan4 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 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.

mattd123 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
