Re: Lifted steering arm height

In my years working in a 4x4 shop, I saw lots of scary stuff.
Things like stacked blocks, "home made" blocks, and shock extenders made from all-thread were fairly common.
I have seem 10" of lift done with 4" springs and 6" blocks on the front along with a full 10" block and stock springs on the back.....

Back then, a lot of what I did was removing that kind of stuff and getting the trucks back safe and driveable again. That and re-gearing to bring the power back after tall tires were installed.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
