Stealth Custom Series F5 * Photo thread *

I don't honestly know for sure. I bought the truck used from a dealership and it came with the lift pre-installed. They are bilstein 5100 with toytec coils and a 1" toytec spacer. The research that I have done says this is toytecs 3" lift, but the bilsteins are at their lowest setting.

So I would guess it is 1.5"-2" in the front. I think the rear is just running an AAL. Anyways, all of that aside, my driver side measurements from center of hub to bottom of fender are 23" in the front and 24.5" in the rear.

Hope this helps!

 

Thanks! Truck is on stock suspension with 265/75-16 tires. No rubbing that I’ve noticed. Wheels are 4.5 backspace.

 

I’m running OME 885s with 5100s on their lowest setting and a 3 leaf AAL in the back. I had to add top plate spacers to both sides to get a full 3” lift on my DCSB and my hub to fender measurements are 23” up front and 23.75” in the rear.

You sir, are definitely running a 3” lift up front and at 24.5” in the back, that would be more than an AAL can provide, so you likely have a block back there or a replacement leaf pack.

 

Well fuck. I've been looking at new suspension. I want to go ADS all around with medium dakar leaf packs. But I also want to maintain my current stance and ride height. I don't have aftermarket UCAs, but everything is in order according to the alignment shop. I've read that anything over 2.5" basically requires new UCAs to achieve a proper alignment. There is just so much info and so many optiona out there.. but this isn't the thread for that.

Thanks for your input, this will help me figure out where to go from here. I was already planning on trimming the fenders 2 1/4" all around, so what I will potentially lose in ride height from new suspension, i'll gain back and then some from fender trimming.

I just wish my leaf packs weren't a rust bomb and that I could identify what they are. That'd help.

 

All good man. I ran a 2.5” lift on stock UCAs for almost three years before I bumped the lift up and got larger tires. Now I have SPC UCAs and 33” tires and my alignment is set with more caster than factory to help avoid rubbing.

I also have a new Elka suspension sitting in my office that will be going on eventually. I’ll be sacrificing a half inch or more of lift in the front for ride quality. Not a huge deal to me as long as I keep the alignment set close to where it is. And my new F5s will hopefully make it onto the truck before summer...

 

Yeah I am thinking extended travel ADS with SPC's in the front. Piggyback ADS shocks with Dakar in the back. I've heard somw people settling at 24" and some at 23" with Dakars, seems like a crap shoot. I just moved to 33s with these F5s and I am prepping the suspension for about 700lbs of armor.

Plate bumper, winch, LCA skids, full skids to the front crossmember, gas tank skid, pumpkin skid, and eventually a steel rear bumper. So I am leaning toward 700lb coils in the front. I'm on 600lb right now and it a pretty harsh ride with no weight. But *i've read* that anything over 200lbs in the front, most people are running 700lb coils. My bumper and winch will be 205lbs alone. So many things to consider. But thanks again for your info, that helps a lot to give me a better idea of what to expect moving forward with my suspension decision.

Can't wait to see your F5s!

Anybody running 265/75r16s on a '17 quicksand offroad? The wifes truck is in need of some new tires!

 

This truck looks really nice

Thanks!

 

another questions, the aals, I got icons 3 leaf progressive aal and it tells me to remove the overload and will give a 1.5 rear lift. Did u end up taking yours out or leaving it on?

 

Like I said, I didn't install the front or rear lift myself, I bought the truck with this already set up. I'm actually deep in the trenches of researching all new leaf packs because i'd prefer to know exactly what i'm running on my truck and the rear end is stiff as hell.

I'm upgrading to ADS RR clickers all around with 700lb springs and trying to figure out exactly which pack will give me good on/off road/weight hauling performance. So far I am between ICON RXT or Deaver U402 Stage 1. So many things.

I hope you find an answer about your AAL!

 

I have the Icon Progressive 3 leaf AAL on my truck. I left the overload spring in and saw almost exactly 2” of lift. But I will be removing the overload leaf when my new shocks go in because it does ride pretty harsh. The overload leaf is too long and the clip on the bottom AAL spring makes contact with the overload over large bumps. After running this setup for over three years, I’d highly recommend not installing the overload leaf with the 3 leaf AAL.

I actually bought a 1/2” flat steel shim to install in place of the overload leaf. That should keep my lift at 2” while keeping the truck from riding on the overload, making the rear more harsh.

 

Ahh ok. Yeah I think I’m planning to take out my overload for a 1.5” lift. And I’ll be having a 2.5 in the fronts. From what I’ve researched, it should level out my truck. The overload really comes in handy when towing something heavy right? Or having something heavy in the bed?
