Lift Compete!

Well, it took 3 months from deciding to do my lift to getting it done. Was long road but worth it. Let me know what yall think!







Special thanks to Bret (BulletToothTony) and Mr OZ-T for taking the time to answer my questions and help steer me in the right directions. Also thanks to everyone else on tw for the hundreds of threads I read to prepare and educate myself. (I may have broken the search function from overuse lol)

Very nice!! Love the lift. I am looking to lift my 2011 SWB Dbl Cab and this is exactly the stance and look I have been after. I will definitely be checking out your build thread on the lift you went with. Sweet truck! Congrats!

 

Just curious, how much did lift set you back money wise including the "in progress" items? Thanks in advance!


I'm guessing after visiting wheeler's off road website that it was around $1100 ish?

 

Real Nice, How do you like the new leaf springs. I am looking to get the same springs. Do they make any squeeking noise

 

About 3.2k in total with lift, tires and alignment; the in progress things get here on tuesday and were only 38$ more. I saved up the cash first tho, so nothing much was set back.

No squeaking whatsoever, but I knew about the sqeak issue so I took em apart and coated with ez-slide graphite paint before I installed em to be sure. The whole suspension is way better than stock now imo, not dissapointed at all. Feels different to be sure, but the good kind of different.

 

looks sick dude, what lift did you end up going with?

 

Thanks man. I went with the OME 885 w/ dakars, details are in my build thread.

 

very clean! good job

 

truck sits and looks good man ,, how do u find the tires at highway speed ,, any shakes or vibrations ? i am looking at getting the same tires soon ..

 

Looks good. Good choice. I went with the same. You're going to like it a lot.

 

I just got the tires yesterday so only been up to 55 for a bit so far and no problems. Only have minor vibe around 20mph (from lift not tires), nothing I cant live with if it wont go away. Love these tires tho, they handle well and the truck feels heavier/stiffer/beefier on the whole. You can hear em going down the road somewhat, but I kinda like that too, and if you play any music you wont even notice it tho. Drives less like a car and more like a tank now, which I really like alot. Zero regrets about getting these tires tho.

 

Man what a beauty.....looks awesome. Can't wait to get mine lifted!!! Great job.

 

what was the cost of just the lift? i have pretty well same truck. Just wondering if i need to get bigger tires or if just the lift is fine. the tires i have a decently "knobby"

 

Thread is 5 years old, but a full OME setup like this (without new UCAs) is about $1200-1300 in parts.

UCAs add another $450+.

Labor to install is not included.

 

@DCSBFTMFW lol thanks, i noticed that after i commented. I google imagined my truck color with lift and factory tires and this one came up. Just wondering if my tires will look small on a 3 inch lift.

 

didn't realize it had been that long wow, feels like yesterday.

yes they will, and there is no point in doing a lift without getting bigger tires imo.

read through my build thread, most of your questions are already answered there w/ pics.

 

Hmm this is my setup right now . Thoughts ? Lol

 

Your truck looks great. Love the access cabs, and the upgrades that you did on yours are just right.

 

Me or his ? Or both because his is sick lol
