Custom 4" lift possible?

[cmdr jim]

Question, if there was a way to lower the front differential, steering rack, & lower control arm pivot points all by 1-1/2" and also keep the upper control arms at an angle no greater than what is done on a two inch lift, would a 4" lift be possible without damaging the CV joints or steering inner tie rod joints?
Would you see any thing else that may come into play?
If not, than a RC double stacked 2" lift on the front and a RC 2" block on the rear with OME 2" coils on the back.
I think this is possible, but that would mean the front CV joints and Steering tie rods would be working as if it's a 2-1/2" lift.

No, you would need new spindles as well to maintain the uca/lca kinematic relationship and essentially have all of the parts as the 4" superlift, just with less height.

It'd be cheaper and better to just get the superlift.

I wish it were that simple, slapping an RC lift on top of the OME

I'm running 1/4" spacer on top of OME. That's the limit if not over the limit IMO. Down travel of the suspension is almost non existent. And I'm wondering how long my steering rack is going to last. Literally biting my nails till the day I can do it right and get a suspension system on there!

Yea I hear ya, I dont see the need for the superlift yet, especially at 2k when all said and done. The OME does everything I need it to, for now especially as a DD. When I get a new car 3-4 yrs I may go for the superlift if something else isnt developed by then

Lifting is addictive. Your OME is relatively new.... won't be long before you're installing the 1/4" spacers and soon after wanting bigger lol.

[Core XK]

lol Yeah I know...its not realistic for me right now either (I wish I still lived with my mom) then It would be realistic!!!!
