i need to lift my front about 2" to match the warrior skid in the rear, i seen hauck has mounts and some guy on ebay has them also, ive also seen guys put formula shocks on the front. so what is the best way to lift my front a couple inches?
I don't know if this would be the best way to do it, but here is what I am going to try in about a week or so when I get time.
1. I am going to cut a used set of ski spindles in half and machine the I.D. and put weld chamfers in the seam.
2. Machine and spacer that will fit into the I.D. of both sides of the spindle to add about 2 inches. Weld together and machine OD smooth.
3. Machine another spacer to fit between the bottom of the spindle and the trailing arm to raise up the clearance.
I thought this may be a cheap way to raise the front up a little bit. We'll see if it works. I just have to find a set of used spindles to try it on so that I can put it back if it doesn't look good. I don't need extra suspension up there, just more clearance. This should keep all of my suspension parts stock as long as I can do it so that it won't brake.
