Lifted 1st gens let's see em

Can you guys post up some pictures of lifted first-gens with 265/75s? I'm planning on downsizing to them and I wanna make sure they don't look too small. Thanks

 

With the Wheeler's Offroad OME kit and related AAL. Stock wheel and tire size. Bit small IMHO but the KO2s have been great. Unloaded in this pic. Normally have 500lbs or so of "stuff" in there compressing the rear a bit so YMMV. I'll put something a bit larger on when they die.

 

Stock tire size is 265/70 correct? Cause a 265/75 should be about an inch taller.

 

Yes, these are 265/70.

 

I think I'm gonna get some 265/75r16 KO2s cause i can get them for a good price

 

are those curtains? I'd be interested to know your setup
edit: zoomed in..cardboard?

 

Reflectix. POS snugtop shell. Spelled with a small "s" because it is such a POS.

 

From factory, to modified...

Alcan leafs with 3 inch lift, Toytec Bilstein 5100 coilovers with 650 Eibach springs.

 

Anyone have any pics of 5100's on the third setting" (1.5' inch lift in front)

 

the door/slide windows on the side are nice though. What makes it a POS ?

 

How much lift you at now?

 

3" front 3.5" out back.
Was at 2" all around.

Spacers/blocks b4.
5100's w/eibachs and dakars now.

 

Looks taller than that lol

 

That's what I was thinking. Haha. Makes my truck look stock.


What size tires?

I know me too!! I don't get it. Everyone else's setup with eibachs looks lower.. Idk. I measured tho.. 40" from ground to fender. That's about right for 3" yeah? Unless I have a body lift and don't know it. Ha. But pretty sure I do not. Lol.

33×12.5's tho.

 

Idk what stock is, but I'm at 38.5-38.75". I have 285/70/17.

I'm more tempted to push that 39.5-40" mark now. I think I like it. I have quite a bit of rake with my truck now. My rear is at 40" from the ground.

 

oh damn, that is terrible. I always thought snugtop was top of the line, due to price and aesthetic appeal. I have an old leer, it works pretty well. I have windoors on it, but no sliding. I plan to carpet the inside. Check out leer for your next shell

 

Well I've stated this in other threads, but these eibachs are too much. Way too stiff. I'm maxed out on the 5100's. Like zero down travel. Well, maybe .5" . But that's it. Lol. I'm riding it out until I get my plate bumper and see how she settles. But I'm not very optimistic about that. 3" is TOO much. I'll Probly end up swapping coils, as well as the leaf overload to bring the back down a hair to match. Gonna shoot for 2.5" in the end.
I gotta say tho, I do dig the height. And glad I came out pretty level. I had high hopes regarding the performance besides what others had said, thinking they were exaggerating a lil bit, but it really is too rough... I'm not a street queen. Lol.

 

Ya I don't wanna lose all my down travel. my ride right now is pretty nice. I'll have to think more about it..
