Just bought my lift!

very nice lifts kit. cant wait to see the results.

 

I've read that with the 3.4 and manual and if you have 4.10 gears you should be good with stock gears. Can't wait to see the lift

 

I'll post pics tomorrow.

 

looks awesome man wish i got the 5150s dont set your billys to anything but 0 you will ruin em! the eibachs should give you a good 3" and you will be able to run 33's im in the same boat as you stock size tires and recently lifted lol hopefully new ones in the next couple months

 

Thanks man i was wondering what to set them at to get 3" of lift.

 

you should be good i did a somewhat similar set up with 5100s all around ome coils and a procomp 2 inch aal and i have a little bit of bro rake so watch out for that everytruck is different and i guess i used different coils, leaf packs are way to expensive for me though lol

 

Yeah if it's got a bro lean I'm going to pickup Lift shackles until I get the new leaf pack.

 

thats a good idea the shop that installed mine said shorter aals tend to hold shape better (kinda makes sense when you think about it) but if you do end up getting a new leaf pack look at getting one of these http://www.streetacos.com//~stores/318445_preview.jpg

 

I disagree

 

Lookin forward to seeing the pics.

 

The Diff drop kit's not going back I'm going 3" and its insurance for my CV joints so I'm keeping it.

 

good idea...didnt order mine and the rubbers about to shit the bed needless to say i purchased one now its just a matter of waiting to get someone to install it

 

^^^^ smart thinking! Post lift vibs in the higher speeds (+40 mph), get that diff drop on there.

 

Yeah I just measured the truck I'm sitting at 35 1/2" all the way around I do have a bunch of shit in the back I'm going to unload it and check again I think I'm thinking I'm going to need at least a 1" lift shackle
to give me a little rake. I'll find out in a few hours.

 

yeah shackles would be your best bet if you cant afford a new pack but on my truck the leaves already look a little close to my exhaust and it kinda worries me when its flexin

 

Well the lift it on thanks to PrerunnerSeth and all the guys at the PRS mod day.

The lift looks good it's sitting high I'm sitting at 38 3/4 in the front and 38 1/4 in the back with a little settling I should be sitting level so no need for shackles.

I'll post pictures tomorrow when I get home.

 

So here is the before and after pics

Before


After


I'm 3/4" high in the front but it should settle to where I'm setting level.

Here is the front shock with the Eibach's I set it at 0 and got 3 1/4" lift in the front.

 

You should always measure from the center of the hub to the edge of the fender/flare. This way different tire & wheel size will not affect you measurements for future measurements.

Which reminds me, I need to ask someone for stock measurements as I lost them when my other HDD crashed.

 

lookin good man

 

Well I'm running stock wheels and tires still and I was at 35 1/2 from the ground the fender all the way around now I'm at 38 3/4 from the ground in the front and 38 1/4 in the back.
