I have found a long arm 7 in kit from red rock 4x4. I have a 249 t case whitch is not the greatest from what im reading. I'm lookin for a 231 that will work. I know there is someone that knows and has just what i need. Any help or advice on parts and where to get them would be greatly apreciated. I wanna get it done soon so I can hit the trails. Thanks alot.
Why not just buy the Claytons LA kit directly from them, claytonoffroad.com?
What size tires are you planning to run? 7" of lift is unnecessary unless you wanna run 35's (no trimming) or 37's (trimming required).
You have a budget to stick with? The lift and all associated parts to get you ready to hit the trails is going to be at least 6 or 7 grand.
I don't know how much of this you'll be doing yourself, but I'm assuming you're paying for labor since you had to ask for our help on finding the lift....
$3,500 for the lift & installation (professional welding required)
$300 new steel wheels (more if you want bling)
$1000 for 35-37" tires
$600 steering upgrade to turn those big tires
$2500 axles built to handle 35-37" tires & swapped in
$300 231 TC swap
