You'll have to space the front bumper out a little and if you have stock wheels you'll rub on the radius arms at full lock.

I don't think that counts on a 88 for the bumper part. But yes on the radius arm part.

Thanks 85gt, that's what I was looking for. 4" with 33s looks about perfect. What brand lift did you buy?

What leveling kit do you recommend? I have an '88 with tired suspension. I'm not looking to lift, just return to stock height and keep running 31s. Probably do add-a-leaf or helper springs in rear since it already sits higher than the front.

85GT5.0, wanna post what those beams cost to have cut and turned? Was it a shop that specializes in them?

Thanks!
