Remember though on most G1's if you go over 5 your going to have to either notch the frame or bend it in where the rear clutch center is.

I am thinking of lifting my g14. I would like to do it myself, mostly because I am cheap but I would also like to say I did it. I know there a lot of you fab guys out there that from some of the pics I see do a really good job. Any suggestions for an easy homemade lift job? The above job looks pretty good. What are the pros and cons of doing it that way?

If you can measure and drill holes in metal center. Im the same way, trying to save money i wasn't going to pay 280$ for a lift kit, When i can make it myself. The front will be the hardest. You have to drop the shocks, make drop brackets for the A arms and stabalizer bars. In the back you just drop the top shock mount. Once you start it its not that bad. Im gonna post pics soon on mine. I have 4 new padde tires coming tomarrow

I don't know much about lifts. I understand how a spindle kit works. How does the a-arm type kit work? Are the a-arms longer and do they have bigger shocks? I have searched for the kits but all they show you is a pic of a bunch of parts. I am not looking for a great mudding vehicle, just something I can take a little off-road. Look forward to the pics!!

The A arm kit works 2 ways i believe. One is just a drop bracket, a piece of steel bolts to the frame where the A arms were. Then drop that A Arm down how far you want to lift. Some kits come with totaly different A arms that have a custom bend to go lower that stock A arms. But that is the kit
