89 Pathy Lift On The Cheap Question

[Scaramoche]

Cheers all my fello Path-o-holics

 

I have a question dealing with the upcomming lift i plan to do on my pathy.

 

I have read, reread on jeep spring swaps, as well as re-indexing my torch bars. I have written up a document for doing this from these forums . Either way, On the 3rd of april im hitting the junkyard to pull some springs, and any other parts(I constently keep hoping ill find a pathy with a lift, but no luck ) and I was wondering if anyone has done the spring swap, crancked torsion bars, AND replaced a-arms?

 

From my understaning, this is basically what you get with the calmini lift, ie springs, a-arms, t-bars, and shocks. I was hoping to just replace a-arms, and get jeep springs.

 

any advice?

Yes.

 

Works just fine and is about all most people need. Even if you buy new Superlift upper control arms and xj lift springs, it is not much more than $300 IIRC.

I have 3rd hand jeep coils from my old pathy installed, used Rough Country A arms (same as Superlift but painted black and discontinued) and about a 2" lift from cranked T bars. I didn't need to reindex them, but I may have to when the winch goes into the ARB bull bar.

As said by B(Precice1) that the general complete suspension lift. The UCAs don't actually give you any lift, just make your front end allignable after cranking the t-bars.
