Im doing a 2"body lift and 2" sus lift im wondering how bad it is in the winter time?
-
What do you mean? How the lift changes handeling characteristics in the snow?

For the suspension, you should be fine and nothing to worry about. I'd replace the stock shock in the rear axle to make it work with the longer mounting points you'll have with the spacers. Might think about replacing those rubber bushings on the front sway bar. Since you are doing the spacer lift in the suspension, you'll be placing more stress in those bushings. Being old and weathered, they will crack. You'll get better handling with new bushings. The body lift only lifts the body off the frame. Nothing to do with handling, unless you tend to 'street-race'. It does change the center of gravity, but if anything, don't think you'll notice any difference, other than sitting higher. Same with larger tires. Tires will make a difference in handling and the AT's will be better in the snow than those stock M/S's.
The big things you'll feel with the mods, sitting higher, seeing better, and slower accel/braking (due to larger tires).

Yeah that what i thought. i just do not want to be all over the road. Ok so ill do change the front swaybar bushings.

don't overlook shifter extensions and camber bolts, and it'll drive just like before
