    It has the answers you seek, for an OME coil spring lift...
    ...see pic below FROM THAT THREAD

    If you want 3 inches add spacers to coils.

    well Jo which springs would you pick if youre going with a budget lift. 912 or 913? I know this is probably obvious but I want the blessing from the VX gods...

    im also running on 275/65R/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. And they take up the whole wheel well compared to the wheels on the picture above.

    If you are running 275/65R/18, which are approx 32 inch tires...
    ..you need to decide how much you want to lift.

    Thats a personal / aesthetic taste deal.
    You have to decide if its for 'looks'... or maximizing Off Road clearance.

    Below shows what 912's & 913's will give you.

    Lift with OME 913's with NO SPACERS = 1 3/4 in. lift

    Lift with OME 912's with NO SPACERS = 2 1/2 in. lift




    So, figure ot how high you want to go and buy the appropriate OME springs.
    If, after doing lift, you decide you want a bit more.. pop in 1 inch spacers.

    ~~~~

    This isnt really a "budget" lift.. its just the best way to do it.

    And the bonus is the info and help here saves you MANY HUNDREDS.....
    ..cause you dont get reamed by Calmini, or your mechanic for huge time.

    BUT...the front will go PLENTY high enough for the tires you specified.

    Many , including me, run 35's...and a couple run even bigger...
    ........ and crank the front way higher than you'll require.

    With 32's you'll be well within the tolerance of the T/bar crank.

    Yup...

    As explained... many already do / have.

    BUT... once you get past 33's... the diff drop is recommended

    Depends. Do you have rear upper adjustable control arms to set your pinion angle?

    I tried removing my tcase drop, but got bad vibes when I tested it. I don't have adjustables so I threw the drop back on until I get some.

    Hey Xora, you are responding to a thread that's 8 years old. They probably got it taken care of by now.
