i've got to replace the front control arms on my 96, so i figured i might as well put a little lift to it while i'm at it...

i looked at the possibility of a lift kit, and found i could put together a 3" kit better for a little more money by piecing it together.... here's what i've come up with...

front lift:


upper arms
Tuff Country D3I-002 - Tuff Country EZ-Ride Control Arms - Overview - SummitRacing.com

lower arms
Tuff Country D3I-003 - Tuff Country EZ-Ride Control Arms - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Thuren adjustable track bar
Thuren Fabrication - 0-3" lift track bar

and i'm undecided between a 3" coil spacer, a set of 3rd gen front springs with a 1" spacer (from what i'm reading i'll end up with 2" of lift from them), or a straight up 2nd gen 3" lift spring

rear lift:

ditching the 4" rear block

DIY4X shackle flip
94-01 Dodge shackle flip

DIY4X EZ Inch (to correct the wheelbase issue from the shackle flip)
EZ Inch

2" AAL
Tuff Country 83250 - Tuff Country Add-A-Leafs - Overview - SummitRacing.com

i'll probably end up ditching the factory overloads too, since they won't be anywhere close to contacting the brackets...

what do you guys think of this setup? and any advice on the front spring situation would be greatly appreciated.
