Silly Question About Building a Stocker Samurai

[cadzilla500]

I just bought an 88.5 that is in great condition. I'd planned on lifting it and going with 31-33" tires, but now I think I'm going to keep this one as stock as possible. It has all the original paperwork with it, and it runs like a top. I plan on buying some more aggressive tires, General Grabber AT2's, rear locker, a full skid plate, and possibly twin sticks. I do plan on using it off road, but it will mainly be a daily driver. Red Samurai before I got it home.
My Questions is: Should I use lift shackles and lift the front 1" more that the rear to level it up? The front sits 1 1/4" lower than the rear.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

First off. sweet find on the sammi... Persoanlly I'd shackle it to level it.. bout the easiest most cost effective way, not to mention with that size of lift, its the best way to go for the money... any higher then that would mean spring time.


The only other thing i can say is good luck with keeping it stock... they are addictive... but sounds like you have a good plan to start out with
