3" Lift W/ Bilstein 5100 Pictures

Thanks, trying to get it looking as good as your silver Taco.

 

looks great man. How's the power and mileage with 285s?

 

Thanks! I haven't regretted going with the 285's at all. A small drop in MPG but nothing significant. It doesn't go 0-60 as fast as she use to, but it's not a huge difference. It's really all about what you want, a street truck or an off-road truck.

 

Hi guys, I have a pretty specific question hoping someone out there can chime in.

For those out there with a 2nd gen DCSB 4x4 and ran 5100s with 887s and the old Dakar HD CS047R leaf packs without any weight in the bed, were you sitting level with the full pack or would you recommend taking a leaf out to be level front to back?

 

I have the newer Dakar standard pack installed with standard 5100s. Should I be using the extended b110 shocks from bilstein

 

Hey how much lift can I get away with before needing UCA's and/or diff drop kit?

 

anything over 2.5/3 inch

 

About 2" of lift it starts getting sketchy. More lift and more tires needs more caster....About double the "stock" specs require... ie 3°+ as apposed to 1.5° +. Most (good) aftermarket uca's add 1.5 to 2° + caster....

 

Sweet rig! I am looking to pull the trigger on 33x12.50x17, what else did you have to do to get those on ur rig, did you do the cmcsa? Any rubbing?

Thanks for any info.

 

I didnt do any major trimming.the offset on the wheels was 0 so I had very minimal rubbing.i have a different setup now..

For my new setup I had to do the cab mount chop..but well worth it, and unnoticeable unless you know what your looking for. These wheels have a -18 offset.Im also running fox 2.5 RR with dsc adjusters up front.Rears are still bilstein 5100's
