Yep that is what I mean, 2" would do but 4" would be Better, still want to run shocks

Gotta make sure a 4" is done properly or you'll have body clearance issues plus you loose the use of needle bearings for the TA's. Personally I like needle bearings over urethane sock bushes but that's just me.

2" can be done to keep the needles and mod the orig shock tower to gain clearance or just fab new towers from thick plate. Either was even a 2" must be done right so as to have no clearance issues and hence the longer reply 🙂
madness is in the eye of the beholder 👍

Surely someone has a 2" narrowed beam they don't want???
