Body & Suspension Lifts
Just wondering the thoughts out there regarding the combination of a
suspension and body lift. I would be interested if anyone has done this. I
thinking of going with a 2.5 suspension and 1" body lift. Pros and Cons
would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

Re: Body & Suspension Lifts
Body lifts should be avoided if possible. If necessary, a 1" body lift
goes fairly easily except for getting the bolts out without snapping
them. A 2" lift usually has some issues getting the radiator and shift
levers to work right. A 3" body lift is a big NO, nothing fits right
plus you will stress the body mounts, usually results in the body
developing a lean. Double that if you have an accident and hit something.
Specifing which year and model as well as what tires you want to run
would help getting a definate answer.

Re: Body & Suspension Lifts
Body lift = Shame lift. If you can't clear your tires with a 2.5" spring
lift, get a 1" shackle lift.

I think it would make a Dodge Neon look silly and handle poorly.
