mikesrangie:
Wanting to put a snorkel on an 89 3.9 RR County.  Would like to ask for advice from the experts on what to do (other than not go in the water).  
Thanks
Mike

I know its not an answer to the question, in fact I was thinking about posting the same question abour snorkel's myself. But. Is a 2 inch lift easy to do? Are there any pitfalls to watch out for?
cheers

Landieman:
fesuvious - in my limited experience the 2 inch lift is really only required when the tyres have been upgraded aswell. Ok it lifts the body but the diffs aren't any higher off the ground. Also there might be added strain on the UJ's.

I might be completely wrong but i will quite happily be corrected, que correction.......

mikesrangie:
fesuvious,
     The lift was not hard to do at all.  The only problem was compressing the springs enough to get them in.  Landieman is correct in that the UJ,s are put under a bit more strain, that is why I replaced the shafts with the extreme shafts from Scorpion when the lift went on.  I have also replaced the tires with a much larger Grizzly Claw and still had to modify the wheel arches a bit, now with the tires I have between 1.5" and 2" of extra clearnce.
     Hopefully this will help you.

mikesrangie:
Forgot to mention that you would really need to extend the brake lines.
