Exclamation have 3 inch body, need some suspension..help??

I already have a 3 inch pa body lift.. but i want to do a suspension lift too.... I dont want to have to re-gear so i dont know how big of a tire i can go with till my mpg goes way down the pooper. But what is an afforable lift i could add to this set up. and what tire size do you think i should use to compliment this set up...

thanks in advance

what size tire are you running now? i had to re gear with my 6 inch lift and 35's, so id imagine any size lift suspension lift is gonna let you run tires bigger then that even, i know you can run 38's with a 6 inch suspension and 3 body with some trimming.......but im not sure thats what u want lol. anyway i think rancho makes a 4 or 4.5 lift, thats the smallest suspension lift ive seen, other then a leveling kit, not sure on company's for those though

If you have a 4x4 and add a suspension lift on top of the body lift, you are going to want to run a large tire which will make regearing necessary.

i agree i would recomend regearing for any tire over a 33", good luck

You may be able to crank up the torsion bars. Just look and see how much preload is on them now.
