Im way out of my league here. I've had my Sport Trac for a few months and the thing is just looking puny next to my older brothers jacked up Ranger. I found some pictures of John Johnstone's Sport Trac and ever since then I've been drooling over it and using it as my guideline. <br>With my lack of knowledge on the topic, I just want to know what the minimum i can do is to fit 35s on it. Ive had a few people tell me to just do the 4" superlift and a body lift, but i wanted to know what the deal is with the torsion twist and shackles. Its all new to me. <p></p><i></i>

The torsion twist and shackles don't give you but about a 1.5" suspension lift. And I honestly beleive that over time and abuse that the torsion bars will fatigue and settle down again. But, the longer shackles will give you more flex in the rear.<br><br>A Superlift 4" lift and a 3" bodylift will be over kill. People usually do one or the other.<br><br>I personally am not a fan of the Superlift 4" lift. It leaves the torsion bars hanging down, vunerable to abuse in hardcore offroading.<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.explorerforum.com/data/3237/4107soa_and_bl_vs_superlift2.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>It also depends on what your goals for the truck are. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub222.ezboard.com/bdemon4x4.showUserPublicProfile?gid=aquaman@demon4x4>Aquaman</A> at: 4/26/04 2:03 pm<br></i>
