Lifting a 4 Door Track/Kick On A Budget
Say you're fairly mechanically adept, but a little short on cash (like most people), you gaggle every time you see a lifted 4 door, and you get googly-eyed when you look online at the high costs of aftermarket parts to do it with. Well, no more!
With a small amount of $$, some tools, some ingenuity, and some simple instruction, you can have a lifted 4 door that can run 31x10.50's on a budget! We're talking 5 inches of lift here! Ah, the advantages of a 4 Door... packing all your gear and your kids, and keeping them dust-free while wheeling with all the big guys!
