Fine with good strong springs, under 400 hp. and 40's. This is done all the time and is a simple swap with kits available. Armstrong automotive or Complete offroad for work.

I went with lift springs on mine and if I could do it over (and I will) I would have done a spoa on stock (more flexy) springs.

Let's face it a lift is a lift is a lift there is only one pro.

Pro's - more lift

Con's - axle wrap, could end up with to large a tire for axles, slip-yoke eliminater required, the extra $$ to make all the little things right.

if incorrectly done: bump steer, steering linkage binding, break line failure, death wobble, drive shaft come apart

if done correctly: $$ to do it right the first time.
