Post subject:  getting ready to lift, need advice
I'm in the process of collecting parts for my lift and need some input
What I have

Rusty's coil
JBA strut spacers
bilstien struts
31 10.50 15 tires on 15 x 7 soft 8's

What I need
Bump stops
rear shocks
rear isolators ( not shure how many?)

Questions I have
Should I also do a clevice lift I plan on running 31 10.50 on 7 inch wide soft 8's?
How many isolators do I need to make the rear sit level?
What does everyone recomend for bump stops? I plan on the puck method for rear
What is a budget shock recomendation for rear may have to upgrade them later
Will I have to drop brake line brackets
What else am I missing?

First toss the Rustys coils if you already have them
they will sag in no time and are only rated same as stock
if you have them sell em and get some OME 927s/948s

Thanks for the advice I will go with almost all of it. I'm going to go with almost all of it. I'm going to use the coils as I already have them and will be happy if i get a year out of them as I will be either upgrading to jba uca and ome coils or more likely a sas. I am going to spend the money now and get the bilstien shocks too

Teraflex bumpstops front/rear

I don't remember exactly how I got my current bumpstops, but they look just like these in the rear:

And I just super-glued the bolt that fits snug inside the stock bumpstops.

You can see them a little bit here:

Rear shocks either the rare rancho xl's, OME shocks from JBA or rear shocks from an 99-04 4x4 durango/dakota.
