    Torch lift on 04 trac

    Hers is a pic of a torch lift, last week someone mentioned this kit and my buddy just added plus new tires, he said it seems sturdy and was not a hard install. he has a garage with lift and has built a trac from ground up so easy for him.

    1st gen lift kits

    From what i can see your truck already looks cool,,tracs look cool to me with their shape, not just straight and flat and with your shell on it, takes it up a notch.

    1st gen lift kits

    As far as body lifts there is a few makers, there was a time you could drill out hockey pucks and longer bolts but the compound in some are a tad softer now, most poly based are preferred, every truck i have been in has a smoother ride from worn stock mounts and some were resting on frame from...

    New Wheels, part the 2nd

    I agree with swshaw, those wheels are sick and looks good on your truck.

    1st gen lift kits

    A body lift replaces body to frame bushings with bigger spacers/ mounts,seperating body from frame, most factory bushings or body mounts get toast over the years, most the lifts you see with tracks are body lifts, 3 inches which give you room for 32s,most kits come with bumper relocation...

    1st gen lift kits

    Crazy, as lower lake mary was always low back in 80s, a 77 power wagon is sooo cool, there getting so rare and pricey. and 32s or 31s is a good fit, the back is so simple to get either to fit but the front with turning with out spacers is that tricky spot. cranking torsion bars gives it a inch...

    Add-a-leaf or shackle lift?

    When i talked with rep a couple years ago he said they have all the parts but for warranty and i tried to get him to put a kit together with no luck, i have had zero issues in 18 years and a few kids driving it. They're worse than the trails.

    Add-a-leaf or shackle lift?

    Yes, i have a superlift 4 inch so springs in rear and lower torsion brackets and crossmember and knuckles etc, the rear is easy as you can get shops to build arched springs but front well as you mentioned its whole new set up, super lift made off the shelf kits but discontinued because is was...

    Add-a-leaf or shackle lift?

    body lifts are a good way, most kits have bumper relocation and a plus is most bushings need replacing any ways, pretty cheap to do and definitely a bonding experience. easiest way to keep suspension stock and have a lift. i have done shackles on my jeep and was way easy and worked great. the...
