How do i get enough lift to clear 33s?

[NCKidd16]

I have an 88 d50 with 30x3.50 bfg all terrains and an automatic transmission. I have a set of 33 mickey thompson baja mtz and i need to know where i can find a lift for it. The body lifts say that it won't work because i have an automatic. but idk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i think you can just do some customizing on the shifter stuff for the automatic to make a body lift work...torsion bar crank and body lift is just about the only lifts these trucks have got

Never had an auto, but if there shifters set up like the monteros I think you just have to adjust some linkage, Lift it sort out the details later!!!!

so if i get a 3inch body lift and crank the torsion bars are the 33s gonna fit without rubbin? What kind of modifactions will i have to do to shifter linkage? Srry but im new to this and im only 17 years old and dont know alot about these trucks. Thanks for your help, keep it coming.

Not guaranteeing the rubbing thing, gonna depend on your wheels I'm guessing.

I think you only have to adjust em with a couple of wrenches but cant remember.

Only 19 here, but Ive been playing with these trucks since I was 14

I'll sell you a brand new lift kit dirt cheap.

What kind of lift?

iv got 32's, had to crank torsions 3'BL and had to cut back bottoms of fenders, i still rub a bit because of the weight of my bumper, from what iv heard BL with an auto is a pain in the ass, but can be done. getting the linkage length and position is key, and i couldent see it being to hard after taking some measurments.i couldent see the linkage setup on these trucks being to complicated... are ya able to get a few pics of what it looks like ?

[NCKidd16]

how much for the lift? I will try to get some pics of shifter linkage. If anyone has any more info on linkage, let me know, any help is greatly appreciated. how far can i crank thre torsion bars safely?
