Does anybody know what I can do to lift my 66 Jeep Gladiator, I have a 3" suspension lift custom made from Alcan Spring and made a 2" body lift from aluinum round stock I know there's complications with lifting since the Springs are mounted on the outside of the frame instead of under. I'm looking for at least 2" more and I don't want to put on a bigger body lift since it'll look way to rediculous. Any advice would help! Thanks
AFAIK Hell Creek is the only co. out there with a off the shelf packaged lift for a post mount truck and it's just 4".
I approached my post mount truck differently by removing the posts up front, adding J20 hangers, chero springs and going SOA with a newer J20 front axle. That get's you about 7" up front over stock.
For the rear I did the shackle flip with the main spring from a 56" GM pack, longer shackle, my perches and a 14-Bolt.
It's a good deal of fab work, not sure if that's what you are looking for?

Laher Spring Co (Hell Creek) has gotten it "tuned" in VERY nicely, and you wont be able to beat the prices as well. They're the only company out there who has figured out the rear shackle "pinch", has lots of flex, and it rides nicely to boot. I'd easily deal with them again.
