SnoViking Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Does anyone know if I can do 4 inches of suspension lift in the rear without exstending the brake lines? Let me know cause Im picking up the coils tomorrow. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Sorry, I don't know, but what coils are you using to get 4"? Jeep lift coils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookie Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Your brake lines will be ok. However, your e-brake cables will be stretched at droop. You can use the lower bolt hole on the rear brackets and some fab up lower brackets for the front where it 'Y's". But, first and see how your e-brake lever is. If it's working 'normal' then just keep an eye on the cables at full droop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoViking Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 I couldnt find a decent 3 inch lift kit and I wanted some rear coils with a higher spring rate... so when i put my 2 dogs, 3 friends and gear in the truck, i dont loose my wonderful lift, so I got JGC 2 inch lift coils, which have a spring rate of 240 (vs the pathy 180)... I jsut put them on tonight and its just a hair over 4 inches in the rear. It looks awesome and i put the pups and my girl friend in the back along with some other junk for weight and it held up like a champ. I have the calmini front A arms and their HD torsion bars for the front which im doing tomorrow when theres more day light. Im excited to finally have a lift.

Mr. Pickles Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 how did you go about asking your girlfriend to sit in the back for weight without offending her? j/k man That's brave. I think I'd be going for golf clubs, a cooler of beer, something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I about break my e-brake cables every time I go offroading. It's not the springs, it's the shock length and lack of a swaybar that get me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
