Let's Talk Lift/Level...Any 2" front - 1" rear Levels?

Eibach pro truck lift is a phenomenal kit and is around $500.

 

Has anyone just leveled the front 1” and not don’t anything to the back

 

Yes guys are doing that as well. 1/2” spacer will give you an inch of lift in front

 

I thought about 5100s all the way around and the front on the 3rd notch 1.1 and leave the back alone and add 17 wheels and 265/70/17 tires

 

Saturday is "lift day". 5100's on all 4 corners, OME 887 with 1.5 Pro Comp AAL. Additionally putting on 255/85/r16 Cooper S/T Maxx

 

It might work. Depends mostly on your wheel selection (offset), and whether you have mud flaps. I went this route first, but due to excessive rubbing, eventually adjusted the 5100's to 4th notch (1.55") and half inch spacer in the rear (1" on driver side because of lean and leaf spring sag on 3-year-old truck). I still get a slight rub on the WeatherTech mud flaps with 265/70r17's (BFG KO2) on 17x8.5 wheels with -6 offset. YMMV

 

As @Drifter001 said, it all has to do with your wheels.. I'm running 265/70/17 Duratrac tires and 17" 4R TRD Pro wheels with OEM mudflaps and have had zero rubbing.

 

How does a 1/2 spacer lift the front 1 inch.

 

geometry

 

Double the size of the spacer and thats how much lift you will get

 

I have Bilstein 6112 and 5160 in the rear. I set the fronts to the 3rd and 4th perch for a 1 inch lift in the front with just the 5160's in the rear for no lift (stock leaf pack). Truck has about 1/8 inch reverse rake. It's hardly noticeable unless measuring. I'll probably bump it up to 1.5 inch in the near future and add upper control arms and a Dakar leaf pack with the second overload spring removed.

 

Ok I’m a little lost .. if I do 5100 all four corners and OME 887’s front and 1.5 AAL how much rake will I have ? And going that high will I have to do drop kits and spring shims ?

 

thought about 5100s all the way around and the front on the 3rd notch 1.1 and leave the back alone and add 17 wheels and 265/70/17 tires With 17x8 0 offset. What problems will I have the tire is 1” bigger than my 265/70/16 that are stock

 

The 5100's set at 0 with the 887 will give you roughly 2". The 1.5 AAL will obviously give you 1.5". Since your truck has a factory rake of roughly 1" the new set up will cut into that a little and give you a rake of about .5

 

You shouldn't have to do a drop kit at 2" but you might as well when you do the lift. Kits are pretty cheap on 4wp

 

This is exactly what I’m looking for - I also have the same wheel set up. Which blocks did you use in the rear? And what is the sway bar relocation (and why?) Did you install yourself?

Thanks!

 

Went with 1" tapered blocks off Amazon. The sway bar relocation kit seems to be a hit or miss honestly - some people need it others don't. In my case, the sway bar was making contact with the front coil (drivers side) and caused a terrible squeak. It's a super simple install just remove the sway bar bolts, slide in the spacers, then bolt everything back (torqued to spec obviously). The relocation kit just moves the sway bar forward and down slightly giving you more room between it and the coils.

 

How high did you go on the front and did you use your stock springs or different ones

 

Best brand/kit for 2/1 body lift? I plan on having the body lift until 50k, then upgrading suspension.

 

Ok guys here is my 2019 with OME 2887 springs and bilstein 5100s I have a 1.5 -2” pro comp aal but these dons even look the same size or deflection so I think I’m sending them back . I only want 1.5 or 1”
