magregor Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I was poking around the net and found a 3" lift kit from Jegs for $88 bucks!! only thing description says is that the bumper brackets are included... Just thought I would let everyone know who didn't! http://www.jegs.com/i/Performance+Accessor...4/4053/10002/-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Says 86-90 though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magregor Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Would there be much difference between the kits? I am sure the number of blocks and length of bolts, etc would be the same wouldn't they? I don't know, so I guess that would be a question...

magregor Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Found another for '86-'90 at JC Whitney for $130...Can someone tell me what the difference would be and would they work...per say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 They're all the same kit. Same as this kit from 4x4Parts: https://www.4x4parts.com/catalog/product_in...products_id=274 Although I do believe the 4x4Parts kit comes with different bolts.

Simon Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 AC adds the correct bolts for the 4 door applications. No company makes one for the 4 doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yeah, in 91 or so they used longer/different bolts on the very rearmost body mounts. They're exceedingly hard to find because they're metric and an extra 3" longer. Some people have simply used SAE bolts and drilled out the stock metric captive nut IIRC.

magregor Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Then really it doesn't matter if I am going to drill out the rear bolts and use SAE bolts anyways...especially to save about 50 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Then really it doesn't matter if I am going to drill out the rear bolts and use SAE bolts anyways...especially to save about 50 bucks Yes, to a point... Don't be suprised if you have to cut open the floor from the top to get at the 'captive' nuts for 1 reason or another though. Hack the floor or spent $50... See the last post. http://npora.ipbhost.com//index.php?showto...25&hl=bolts B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magregor Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 I had to hack the floor to get the bolts out as I had to lift the body off the frame about 2 ft. to rebuild it...I had to cut the bolts as they were rusted so bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Oh, well then, by all means!!! I must have misunderstood... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magregor Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hey no worries, I guess I never posted that I was rebuilding the frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magregor Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I also found at Jegs that you can get the lifting blocks individually for $7.99...So if you get just the blocks and buy the bolts at the hardware store, it may be just as cheap...I guess if you have a welder and can fab the brackets and such. I even checked out a business online that would turn some lift blocks out of Nylon or Neoprene on a lathe possibly even cheaper than the individual ones at Jegs and it is local. Still poking around, as I have to keep this project "under the wife's radar" Edited March 5, 2009 by magregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 It's going to be hard to do it under $100 and do it right. Sell your body on the street corner for a weekend then buy a lift kit. The wife will never know... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
