is it difficult to lift the front end to make it even with the back,ill be putting in new shocks but i read somewhere that you can adjust the torsion bars? then get a wheel alignment also i would like to stiffen it up a little, ive had one suggestion for monroe shocks but id like to here from others and what there using
p.s. how much for a 2'' lift and is it worth it.
cheers

What height are you at right now, and what tires are you riding on? Both valid questions, because if you havent yet cranked your torsion bars
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=352 or changed your stock tires you could easily gain 2 inches without a lift at all. Mine has almost 13 inches at the lowest point. Personally unless you are into serious offroad, that is more than most people ever will need because of the 7' wheelbase.
There is a lot of info out there.

the lift isn't the big one for me but i would definetly like to stiffen up the front end its just way to spoungy do you think the stiffer shock would help? im not into heavy off roading but some of the logging roads have some big washout ditches that may stop my trips just shy of the lakes camping spots.

Standard routine with these is torsion bar adjustments and alignments. You may also want to replace shocks if need be, replace bushings where needed, and perhaps install new tires. Some or all is pretty much a given on vehicles this age and well worth the time/and nominal cost. A lift would be the last thing after this basic maintenance.
