Re: Lift kit recommendations

We bought the NAtional Tire and Whell 4” lift kit for my kids Jimmy project. Time will tell if that was the way to go or not. But at $500 for an all spring lift with shocks and free shipping it was the only choice for a budget project.

And Tim and I have debated blocks in the past adnauseum but I am NOT a fan with all of the issues they created on my own Jimmy and an all spring setup was all we considered.

My own Jimmy has a set of National 4” rear springs and Ranchos in the front that have been on the truck 27 and 28 years respectively now. But realities with 104” wheelbase and lift springs is ride will be a tertiary consideration at best...
