which lift to go with?

[4rnr4me]

alright heres whats up...im going to put about a 2.5-3 inch lift on my 99 runner in silver...ive been looking at doing a cornfed 3/2

im only doing this for looks since its a 2wd, and i wont be taking it offroad very often, if at all...

so do I just get spacers? or should I get a suspension lift? I want the ride quality to stay the same or get better cuz I have offroad shocks and theyre real stiff so every dip and speed bump is VERY hard...any worse and i will bounce right out of my seat...

I don't have a lot of money, but ideas, and rough estimates on price would be nice...

please help me decide...and thanks in advance, you guys on this forum are GREAT!

I say if she's 2wD and you wont be going offroad MUCH (if at all) then you should get the spacers..... tho, with them ontop of your already tight struts im sure the ride would only get worse...
At $700ish OME is a GREAT OPTION......
As usual, i guess it boils down to budget and how thin you want to stretch yourself.

i dont know if someone can help you but i think Saturn Parts can.

I don't know where to buy in US but this can be 3rd choice.
You can adjust height and coil pressure until you are satisfied.
I installed it with Bilstein and TRD 1inch up sus.

How does it ride compared to before ?

Looks good , nice choice .

 

[4rnr4me]

It rides actually NICER, not rougher! that REALLY surprised me...ill explain why its a nicer ride...

The rear end springs have a hard rubber bump stop inside of them...before, when i would hit a dip, it would actually hit the metal below the spring, and cause a little bumpiness...

Now, that bump-stop is 2.5" higher, and doesn't touch metal when I hit a dip...so I just feel the springiness from the spring instead of a stop in the suspension...overall ride is a lot softer, SURPRISINGLY!

I still need a front end alignment though, cuz when I brake, the truck pulls to the left a little...
