Well , Derrik..A 3'' bodylift should work out o.k...I'm not sure about a 4" suspension lift....I don't think they make such an animal for these little trucks. If ya want to lift your suspension , just crank your torsion bars to lift the front , and use shackels on your rear springs. Thats probly going to be maxed out on what you can do without going with different axils. Shoot me a e-mail and i can send ya some pics of a luv that has fully torked torsions and 8'' shackels , with a 3''+ lift. 33'' tires.

the problem i niticed with my torsion bars cranked was the extremely harsh ride, but did lift the front end quite a bit, with major ground clearence under it

Yea , torsion bars tend to bend if ya have em torked all the way. I started backing mine off a couple of cranks.....it seems to add more digging power , when ya got to gas on it. My front pumkin ball still measures 16 inches from the ground. It's higher in the front than alot of jeeps i mud- run with ! 8) I don't run it on the road thoughImageThe End..........XXXX

just looked at your pix and i got to say that is a nice rig! i hope that my 79 looks that good when i get done. didnt think that the stock motor would pull that well but that is great. yeah there was a movie called on golden pond. but it was not filmed here, just like paris tx (where i went to collage) was not filmed there. if you decide to sell your truck someone is gonna be one happy buyer. good luck on it
