Re: My Build Thread (year+) on 71 Jimmy 4x4

Thanks VT...

Yes they will look lost on 9", you bet. My original plan (when I was ordering parts) was to go much bigger on the tires, but now I just don't want to take away the daily driving fun i could have with a smaller set-up...similar in idea to your orange one Ive been seeing you build. Realistically (95% of time) im just going to be having family fun in the hills camping, mudding etc.

Option 1:
I think If I could find someone to trade me a set of 4" springs for my new 6" springs, Id be happy at the 7" lift mark (3 body 4 susp).

Option 2:
Ive contemplated a set of those Rough Country add-a-leafs, that you can add front and back for about 2"...Would give me a total of 7" in conjuction with my 2" rear block

Option3:
Is it possible to remove a leaf or 2 from a new 6" spring pack and get a 4" lift thats pretty soft and flexy?

Regards and much appreciated-RMK
