Small lift options
I know there are ton's of lift threads but I haven't seen many for a small lift.
My original plan for a lift was to go big with 9 wraps and toytec coils/billy's to work with some 33's. I ended up needing new tires before I garthered all the parts for the lift. So now I have new 32's and I don't want to put on these 9 wraps and end up with a massive wheel well gap.
I'll be honest and say I am mainly lifting for looks so I want to keep the ride quality good. I'm thinking 99 coil's with billstiens and 7 wraps.
What other options do I have to go for 1-2" lift.
pics of the new tires for fun.

From what im reading, despite what the lift FAQs say, 7 wraps are giving 4"s of lift so that would give you a lot of rake.
Ironman springs aren't used by many on here but I have a front pair for sale that will give about 1" lift. Barely used because I went with a 3" lift

actually 7 wraps will only give about 3" the 8 wraps are giving about 4" and the 9 wraps are giving about 5+"... id say go with the tundra 5100s on the 3rd setting with tundra TRD coils, and 7 wraps. you will get about 2.5" up front and 3" in the rear

I got closer to 4" with the 7 wraps I used...if you're only wanting 2", go with OME 906s in the rear. I had those previously, and that's the amount of lift I got.

OME 906 & OME 880 is what I've got and it sounds to be exactly what you're looking for. i also added a 1" body lift for a bit more clearance and to squeeze in bigger tires when the time comes. I'm very happy with my setup.

I'd say you're right if discussing the lower '01-'02's, expect about an inch on the taller '96-'00's.
I'd be interested to see how 906's and those Ironman 1" lift springs CJ80 has would turn out, could be excellent.

906 should be good for what you want, i run 906's with 98 coils that are 250k miles old and the 906 is barely taller. Maybe try 890's.

JamesDean has it right from the beginning-consider a body lift first. _____
4crawler.com has much information on this option.

Thanks for the input guys.
I wasn't really considering a body lift because I know my front shocks are getting long in the tooth. My rear ones rusted right through last year so I put on Lx 450 kyb shocks in plan for a lift. If I did a body lift I would still want to replace my coils/shocks up front.
I really didn't think the 9 wraps were 5 inch + that would have been a surprise when(if) I got those in!
If I went with the iron man coils or tundra coils on the first setting would coil spacers for the rear be an option?
I would also like to avoid getting into panhard bar drops and front diff drops.
Anyone interested in 9 wraps? forsale or for trade for a something smaller

I'd say OME 906's in the rear would be a better option for either those ironman or tundra coil setups than stock with a spacer. Stock rear springs are very soft, prone to sag, and will ride lower than the front anytime you throw more than a duffle bag in the back. The 906's are a really nice upgrade over stock, and should be part of any "small lift" IMO.
