For cheap 2in lift, get the coils and leaves from an '91-94 4 door Exploder :D

Have to flip the centering bolt on the leaf springs, Exploders are spring under B2's are spring over. Other than that make sure your shocks are long enough to not limit your suspension travel :beer:

If trying for more than 2in lift it will require drop brackets for yhe front axle.

Thanks, this will probably be my lift, at least for a little while.
