Binford....for more than 2 inches, yes. For any lift, I would make sure that the stock ones are solid and straight, etc...no need to have issues with that later.
Actually, I wouldnt do a body lift...but thats my choice.
The only time I have seen a body lift that was necessary, was for drivetrain clearance. (i.e; trans tunnel too small in a swap)
Tire clearance can be done with suspension alone and done safely with the correct components. Of course if you are using so much tire you need additional clearance in the body department, you're probably overrunning the axle capacity anyway....
hmm... i dont know, ill do something i guess. but anywase, what are you guys using for your suspention bushings?
NOS shackles come with new bushings.
You can some body mounts for a 1967 to mid 70's chevy pickups & Blazers that are 3 1/2" tall from LMC Trucks.
ok, thanks.....what about the steel bushings?
ok, every one is prety much telling me to go to civilian axles, should i, or not? arnt the military axles better and lower geared?
There's pro's and cons to both. On your budget unless you can afford a thousand bucks at least. I'd stick with stock. Run em until you break them, then fix them or swap.
