Thanks all for the advice and counsel. I think the cons out weigh the pros for lifts over 6" (costs, fabrication, headaches etc...)
Curran, I'll look into the 80 owners out here and see what set up they're running as well.
I've read a lot of posts on lifts up to 6 inches and was intrigued by the rig in Japan that has a 12 inch lift.. any domestic 80's with 8 to 10 inch lift? If so, any pictures and write ups? pro's, con's and costs? Getting ready to lift my stock rig and want to look at all options
