I have a 1985 CUCV that i just got up and running. It is a beast with stock 235 85 r16. I am really wanting to lift this truck.
I have looked at different listings about this topic and talked to a few off road shops about lifts. I was wanting to go with a 38" tire I would like to keep it thin because they do a better job for me around here in the woods. I do not mind cutting the finders some (light trimming) but did not want to cut them off.
I called one of the shops about buying a kit 4" lift suspenction and a 2" body lift. The suggested a 4" tough country hd. i then read on line that the weight of the 6.2 would make it sag 1" anyway. The shop i talked to said they did not make a body lift for the Diesel engine because it cause over heating.
one of my good friends suggested a cheep lift would be to add front springs and rear blocks. please give your suggestion on lifting a CUCV 85 M1008. any cheep short cuts are welcome.
