Anyone regret the lift?

there's no wrong reason, if you like the look... lift it!

 

I'm a week in on my lift and couldn't be happier. Rides better than stock so why wouldn't that be desirable? Seems silly for anyone to post in here who hasn't done one either. Until you have experienced both on your own vehicle, no real input to offer here.

 

Not that much less than what I had before,

 

I've had a BDS 4" lift, pro comp control arms and fox shocks on 33s for about 2 years now with no issues. Either spend the money on a quality lift kit or don't do it.

 

Lol nobody read that this was as towing. Those numbers aren't far off stock when towing.

@Da Voke most regret is in terms of mileage, and that comes from the bigger wheels and tires, not the lift.

 

Whats better for wheeling AND cheap parts? The Cherokee or YJs? About the same? Thinking of having a side project for the trails

 

Both will do very well, I put V8s in the YJs, made a hell of a dune toy. XJs did really well for rock crawling. Both can be built up to whatever you want them to be. Just take $$$$. Good luck.

 

Hope for some inexpensive /useful upgrades along the way. 2nd hand etc.

 

You can usually find both with a busted dana 35 rear axle. RIP it out and throw in a dana 44 and you got an inexpensive rig. Good luck with your search.

 

really nice set up

 

Will do. I'll keep it mind.

 

Just put 265/75/16 Wildpeaks on my 2020 DCLB OR truck, and it definitely rubs a touch at times on the left front. So much so that the 2-3” Fox lift I had planned on doing this summer just got bumped up to March/April.

 

Stock or aftermarket wheels?

 

Ray10s

 

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

Good info, thanks for posting.

 

This is exactly how I describe my ride. I have a minimal 2/1" lift using kings and icon leaf pack. I describe the ride as similar to how German cars/suv's ride now which I think is a huge improvement.

 

Regret my lift? No way! I do wish I would've gone with coilovers rather than 5100's.

While Bilstein advertises 5100's as adjustable, it's not an easy task so it's basically a set and forget. I didn't understand that so well in the beginning. The adjustability is nice for dealing with Taco lean, settling of springs, or just changing your mind of how much lift you want.

Ride quality was something I wasn't very concerned with when lifting mine, but I immediately noticed that it did improve. And I did my lift after only 1mo so I was comparing new to new. It's kind of surprising Toyota didn't do more work with ride quality considering how much everything smoothed out after my lift.

 

Taco lean?

 

Very possible
