the only company i know that makes kits is performance

do a search in the DIY section for How To piece together a body lift...most people do that, and purchase the hardware and body spacers separately and only spend about $80 or so

oh, and welcome :)

Did you want a BODY LIFT (BL), or, a SUSPENSION LIFT (SL)

You can get a 2" BL from AC

www.4x4parts.com

Its easier than piecing it together yourself, but ends up costing closer to $200 than $100 when all is said and done.

If you have the time and want to save ~ $100, there's a DIYS BL write up on this site.

:D

The X has torsion bars, with built-in adjusters, up front, and leaf springs out back.

You can add up to another 1.5" of front lift for free by adjusting them to raise the ride height.

You can raise the rear a matching 1.5" by adding a set of lift shackles (From the same place as the BL if convenient...)

You would need a new wheel alignment after that.

She could fit 33's if she got the 1.5" SL and the 2" BL described above.

32's will fit a stock X.

:D

Correct Sir.

You will want to trim off the little plastic ledge at the rears of the front wheel wells. Its the little ledge the lower mud flaps used to screw to, but you don't need those anymore.

:D

That makes room for the rears of the tires to swing through on turns.

Its soft plastic, it snips right off in a coupla minutes per side, super easy.

I already KNOW you'll get a new wheel alignment after the lift, to restore handling and save the tires from excessive wear, etc.

:D
