    some lift questions...

    I have looked over every thread I could think of and I think the cheap lift is what I like the most, but I do have a couple questions.

    With the ome912's I will get approx. 2.5" of lift in the rear. (right?)

    Then approx. 10-12 cranks on the torsion bars. (is this a full cycle or what I can accomplish with my tool?)

    I'm planning on the ball joint flip cuz it looks simple enough and I am lifting more than 2" of lift. (I read it was best if doing mor than 2")

    And I could use some info on the diff drop brackets too. Such as price and what I would need to do it/them.

    Now with all that. I don't wanna change my rims or tires.
    Would I look super weird with the lift and no changed shoes?
    With the space between the tires and the bee bee aweful?
    Should I wait to get tires and rims b4 I lift?

    Thanx in advance. And goodnight y'all
    Answers, input, constructive criticism all accepted. And if I left anything I would need out... tell me.

    I think they look silly without upgrading the tire size atleast. (this one is a bit exaggerated because it has a body lift)

    Diff Drop brackets are something you, or a shop would have to fab up. Ascinder built some for his rig.

    As for the 10-12 cranks on the torsion bar, I think it depends on your definition of a crank. It's only a few rotations you need.

    Also you should atleast get all of the urethane components (bump stops, sway bar bushings etc.) They're only around $120 for everything you need.

    It's approximately 4 full turns of the bolt per one inch of lift...I did twelve complete rotations on Marks to get it close to level after the springs were installed....
