[Kyle Couto]

Kyle, How's it going? Not much on here for that but alot of us are on explorerforum.com and they deal with the more extreme offroad suspension and fabrication like this.



Hugh and I are both planning on doing SAS and SOA conversions on our Trac's here in the near future, Chad has already done his.

ur trac is looking nice! i wanna lift mine and thatv seems to be the best way to do it..:banana:

Thanks. I started off by doing Warrior Products lift shackles in the rear and a 1.75" Torsion Twist up front then went and added a Performance Accessories 3" body lift and added 285/75/16 tires and 1.5" wheel spacers front and rear but should've gone with 1.25" up front.

You're going to need some kind of lift up front if you do a SOA lift...or you could get new fenders.

He could always have his truck mirror TxPlates or John Rock's Trucks.:banana:

TxPlates doesn't have anything other than a body lift does he? At least, that's what I thought.

Honestly I can remember right now, I think he has a body lift, TT, and lift shackles like us to be able to run the 35"'s. I'd have to check. nline::haveabeer:

Buy some new Torsion Keys, like Ready Lift sells so you dont have to Max Out your torsion bolts, and end up over twisting your torsion bars and ending up with a rough riding vehicle :btddhorse: .
