Getting Ready to Buy Suspension!!!

Ok, so i've been lookin around at different suspension set ups and such. I am looking for 3-4" lift with great parts. If you have any suggestions.... post much appreciated!

 

spindles.



EDIT: (camburg/TC spindles), a nice aftermarket coilovers (ICON KING FOX), and a new leaf pack (deaver alcan allpro)

 

X2. Then AP rear 3" leafs. There is a group buy too.

 

hmmm... explain if you wouldnt mind

 

If you are 2wd you can run spindles. Just straight lift. Doesn't affect the geometry of the suspension. You can keep the stock shocks and ucas if you really wanted to.

 

well, i do want to get some great shocks on there and im willing to pay for coil overs but what are some of the up about them?

 

Well with spindles the ride should be really great having no preload, Kings and Icons seem to be more popular, Icons have a heavier spring rate, Kings lower.

Paired with a aftermarket UCA it would be one hell of a midtravel kit.

 

so do you think i should go with kings or the other.... and should i get the spindle lift with it? and what could i do about the back with the leaf springs?

 

What type of driving are you going to be doing? What size tires are you planning on running? How much hard off-road use, if any? You need to ask yourself these questions, and then try to determine what parts to buy. No need to spend a ton of money on "sicky" mid/long travel parts, for a truck that will only see light trails.

 

NOnononono... not a big fan of long travel where the tires stick way out to the side. Im more of the back country off roading guy. hit rocky terrain, mud, snow, ice, sand. 4x4 guy.

 

Then I wouldn't recommend spindles. They will widen your stance 3/4" per side, and if you change wheels too, you could be looking at about 3"-4" wider total when all is done. I'm calling it quits for today, but what size tire are you going to run? If you let us know that, I'm sure the great TW community will come up with some other great suggestions for you.

 

thanks man. and im gonna look into tire size. and i dont mind the tires stickin out that much, just not like a 1' or anything that much.
