Default Need help with '90 geo tracker lift kit

I have a 1990 Geo Tracker and wanting to put a 2 inch body lift on it. I'm wanting to know how many and what mods do I have to do when I put one it. Will I have to change the rad hoses, brake lines, fuel lines? Need help.

If your going only 2 inch I would recommend just some spring spacers. Got mine off eBay. Took about 2-3 hours to install. I got them on mine and I run 31 10.50 tires with no rub at full lock either direction. Only thing I had to mod was the rear shocks and used 91 crown Vic shocks. I like it. Just my opinion

with the lift it pulls the stock shocks out 2 inches which leaves you with 2 inches less of travel. Longer rear shocks give you that 2 inches back.

A coil spacer lift does not add travel, it just moves the suspension out effectively. I solved it with a spacer on the upper shock mount (rear) and used the original shocks. Rides really nice and at zero cost. The crown vic shocks will make your kick ride like a shopping cart. I am too old to ride in one of those

I used the Vic shocks that's what the guy told me to use. It help with farther travel when I off road the thing. Really depends on the reasons for lifting I guess
