    How much funds do you want to put into it?? Balljoint flip & crank the torsion bars in the front, pull a leaf & 3-inch angle blocks in the rear. Thats a cheap & simple way.

    where you take a hammer and beat the inner fender wells to make more room for your tires. So you don't rub lol

    Ouch don't put a dent in your fender. You gotta know what you are doing if you want to roll your fender.

    If you can afford some lower control arms or spindles I'd recommend going that way. I cranked my torsions for a terrible ride along with 3" blocks. Just ordered some DJM lowering arms for the real way to lower it. It's a huge difference. I am also going to do the b/j flip and change the shocks out.
