Can anyone tell me how much lift the roadgrater actually gets? Im wanting to get one, but I have concerns about the amount of lift. Right now I am running tiny 17' s(approx. 23.75 in tall):( and will be for a while. If I can get enuff lift to drag it out of the garage(around 5 inches from the floor) i' ll be all about it. Thanks!!

5 inch lift with a 23.75" tire is pushing it. If your not going with 20' s, the lift is just not right. I know you say its just temp., but I still think you' ll be real low with those rim/tires.

You can get like 6 or 7" of travel. But you will be laying frame plus a couple inches. We typically use like a 24.5" tall tire up front and at least a 27" in the rear.

Its cool, I have a friend that said he would machine a set of billet spacers for the top mount to get the lift i need until I get my dream wheels(when i find them;)) thanks guys.

What about the shock and pinion angle?

why don' t you buy the roadgrader and just put some taller tire on your current 17' s in the back until you get your dream rims. tire are cheaper than new rims, and it will accomplish what you need to get the ride height

here a tire size calculator, just punch in current size, and the new size and it will give you approx specs including tire height, section width, sidewall height, etc.
