Hello all,
Is a body lift and a spring spacer lift for a total of 3" of lift is the body lift a bad idea?
thanks

I think you want to install a 2" body lift + 1" Coil Spacer isn't it ?
what size af tires you want to install ? and what kind of trail you want to wheel ?

you mean you guys don't already know what I drive? ;D sorry I guess that would help! 97 sidekick sport. I was going to go for 235 75 16's but after searching all over it looks like I am going to go 235 70 16 or 235 85 16. yes I am looking at a 2" body lift and 1" coil spring or the spring spacers from jeff97 I am kinda lift impared so I am looking for all the help I can get. I need to buy new tires when I get home in Jan so I am hoping to do the lift first so I can just buy the new bigger tires and not waste money on another set of 215's
thanks

If you'll for 3" lift go for a 30" Tires. my first mod was a 3" BL with 30's and i got alot of fun. the problem with the body lift if the clearance you will not gain too much, so don't forget install a rock sliders and skid plates.

I'm not at all into body lifts. reason is they dont do anything to help lift the low hanging stuff like your frame, and the related components. granted its sometimes necessary since you can only lift the suspension so much before pinion angles and cv axles become a problem.
-
I agree with Bob. The 1-1 1/2" coils with 2" of body should get you where you want to be tire size fairly cheeply and not throw any crazy angles. Be sure to factor in an alignment to your budget and skid plates prior to the wet season.
Does anyone have a link to underside armor, or are most just building their own?

Great place to browse. But a lot of us just build our own. I'm not sure if these will work for you though, since you have a Sport instead of a standard Sidekick. I think the Sport has a wider frame.

I was thinking I am going to have to have some skid plates built for me due to the fact that it is a sport, however I think I will get a tape measure and crawl under it and see how it measures up. I am looking forward to the skid plates I had a few oh crap moments last hunting season where you could hear the rocks and crap banging off the the bottom, which reminds me I still need to get a new exhaust as I knocked a large chunk or two out of it :D with the body lift and spring lift is there anyother parts I would need right away?

Drone, thanks. not sure if it helps hick, but it was good eye candy for me and surely stuff I can turn out in my own shop much cheaper.

it does help, I smacked the crap out of mine last nov in the mountians so I most defiantly want armour if I can use it at least I can take the pics in and say this is what I want and where it is go. I am starting to dt, I have only driven it about 10 days this year due to my deployment my daughter is starting it weakly for me, of course I am getting the dad I realy want one of these for my first car. yipp she is a keeper!!!
