This will give you about 3.5 - 4" of total lift. The swap is fairly easy if you buy a kit for it, which I'm sure you can find after a Google search. There are likely a number of factors that you might run into such as driveshaft being too short, you'll have to replace the shocks, you'll likely run into axle wrap issues and so forth. You may already know this, and if you do please don't think I'm insulting your intelligence.
All in all, the swap can be performed in an afternoon if you have all of the components and the right tools. (torch, welder, air tools, etc.)

Try starting here:
Stage West 4-Wheel Drive Center - http://www.stagewest4x4.com (Ask for Joel, tell him Rick Webster sent you)
Off Road Design - http://www.offroaddesign.com (Ask for Steve, tell him I sent you)
Mountain Off Road Enterprises - http://www.mountainoffroad.com
If neither of these 3 have them, they can likely point you in the right direction or help you put together a kit.

Try giving the guys I mentioned above a call. I'd start with Off Road Design as they specialize in non-jeep type stuff. Mostly full size, but they'll know where to look.

here is the part number for an adda leaf and then you could add 2" shackles and still get 5"
http://www.trailmastersuspension.com/fitup/
What I would do is contact www.ntwonline.com or another dist. and see if they can't just sell you the rear lift from the trail master kit. If not get some spring perches and have a pro weld them to the opposite side of the axle then use a degree meter to figure out what type of shim to use to get the rear pointed right. I still fail to understand how you are going to lift the front enough to compensate for doing this. |

| Most obviously some one was either trying to have fun here, or it is a bot or something. But it is funny when it happens, and then annoying. |

I try to avoid this but personally approving members and doing reverse lookup for email address. I ban certain address domains too. There is a lot of trash out there if you open the doors to it. |

well, this dweeb has been banned, along with his IP.
Reverse lookup for emails works fine, but anyone in the world can create a temporary email on msn, yahoo, google, etc. and get around that too. Banning by IP doesn't work well either, especially with floating IP addys. I also have a service on the web site that keeps people from spam bombing, where it measures the time between drops. I'll try spacing it out a bit further. Jerks!
P.S. I'm going through and deleting these for everyone. Sorry folks.
