Well I just got the sway bar disconnected, and not to my suprise, my
31 " M/Ts rubbed the flairs when I took it thru a culvert near my
home. Well, I have been planning on ordering a lift soon, guess the
time is now! Any suggestions on lift height? I will probably at some
point run 32's, but for now, until there worn, 31's. Will two inches
be enough?
Thanks,
Greg

Re: Sway bar disconnect.
Two inch pucks will be plenty for your 31's to get flexy, 3.5" spring system
for 32/33's.
