Okay, My budget plan went all to hell.
I went and bought the Calmini 3"inch suspinion lift and had
T-N-T Off-Road (FourthPlain X 121st ave)in Vancouver install it for me.

testing out the flex with my new tires
32x11.50 BFG Mudders with 15x8 2 3/4 back spacing
and installed fender flares to keep Johnny law of my ass.
Don't want a repeat of that crap.

Thought I'd do something differant for back up lights.
I cut out the factory back up light aera and place a standard cheap driving light in the hole.
Now I can see everything behind me.
I will hard wire it to a switch when its all done and said.

I just can't leave it alone, so I bought some Chrome rims and some new tires for daily driving. I bought these wheels and tires cheap but the tires sucked. They really loud and I'm not talking about a little road noise (humming) we're talking ROAD noise, turned out the tires were cupped. every other lug was a little shorter than the others. explains why I got them so cheap.

So I bought some other NEW tires that are Cooper 31x10.50 and installed them on the Chrome 15x8 wheels the crappy tires came with. Prety happy with the way the tires handle the road so far.
And yes, I still have the BFG 32" when I go wheeling (after I find a steel front third member)

I 'm on a really tight budget and need to lift it, I already have some 30s off my old yota. Did you build your own? You know where to get a cheap lift?
