Smallest lift

How much are you hauling?

 

300lb dirt bike in the bed with about 400lbs in the cab

 

Small yet capable I don't go crazy but it's more then enough for the type of terrain locally for me and be a daily driver.

 

Depending on how often the bike is in the back I'd look at a replacement leafpack, probably the Dakar heavy duty (600lbs) but it might be a bit stiff when the bed and rear seats are empty.

 

The bikes in the bed every weekend with gear and ramps in the cab

 

This should fit the bill, just decide on 885 or 887 springs. Looks to keep you under 2 inches even with a load.

Depends, most eventually move onto a full replacement. But I think a decent AAL would be fine. Unless you're Rob @mach1man001 and you break a whole bunch of them and makeshift Chevy leaf packs.

 

Lol

Dave, OME has been great for me but like others have said a bunch of other people have been doing the new 6100 and billy rear shocks with good results. New EL095R Dakar leaf packs for a little less lift or if Ironman has a set for 3rd gen they are listed as a 2" as well and the couple of people I know that have had liked them a lot

 

God damn out of stock

 

Call them up, see what they can put together for you.

 

Bilstein 5100s and OME 887 springs

 

Might give them a call to check compatibility of 5160s and Dakars if you're also considering that route. I think the 5160s are limited to 2 inches of lift and we have a thread here floating around about leaking 5160s with that setup.

 

Seriously, if you're trying to DD the truck still, just put 255s on and leave the suspension alone. You'll save money and fuel economy and all the other minor headaches that come with messing with that stuff.

But if you want the lift for looks, by all means, get a lift. I'm just telling you that the 'smallest lift' you need on your truck to run 33's is 'no lift'.

Also hauling a dirt bike around will be no problem. I haul my ducati in the bed just fine and I'm sure it weighs more than any dirtbike.

 

Have a pic of the tires

 

There's a huge thread of 255/85/16s on the OR stock wheels and little to no lift with plenty of pictures.

Incidentally, this is my thread that I pointed OP at in my first post earlier in the thread

 

Yep, saw that after I posted. If he's posting by phone you don't see the signature links.

 

This same kit is sold elsewhere. http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com for example.
