Lift Kit Suggestions

Hi All!

I am in the market for a lift kit and looking for some suggestions on some kits that will meet my needs. Currently on stock running RAY10 17 X 8.5 with Falken Wildpeak AT3W 265/70/17s.

What I'm looking for in a lift kit:
1.) Budget is around $2000 - $2500
2.) More comfortable/smoother ride over stock. This is my daily commuter and I do plan on doing some occasional overlanding/off-roading but I don't plan on hitting Rubicon ever. Daily comfort is more of my concern
3.) 2.5inch (or 3 in the future) lift. Currently have some minor rubbing when reversing only.
4.) 33inch tires in the future (if this matters)

I've done some searches but don't really see any threads come up with anything concrete (or maybe I just suck at doing searches) so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

Look at Ironman lifts. That's what I have on my truck and there are other members that run these lifts and seem happy. I'm really happy with mine

 

Will do thanks!

 

Does your budget include labor?

 

It doesn't - just for the hardware. I've asked around shops here and typical lift kit installs run about $700 which I am fine with and factored into my overall budget

 

I almost went with the Ironman kit, just didn't want the green on my truck... Almost bought the eibach set but I couldn't find it anywhere. They have a 2.0 set for third gens. Good bang for the buck.

So I went with shocks from Headstrong Off-Road. Marie was a great help making sure what I was buying was a good fit. Bilstein 6112 in the front and fox 2.0 in the rear with an aal. Freedom offroad UCAs are a really good price for a dd.

I agree with the freedom offroad UCAs, put them on a month ago. Built solid and for the price hard to beat

 

Great man thanks! Yea I've seen Marie and Headstrong Off-road both being mentioned a lot here - will reach out to them!

Question for you, with that setup - did your overall ride quality improve over stock?

 

i vote talk to @Crikeymike for a Dobinson set up

 

Dobinsons sounds like a possibility also! Are you currently running their lift? If so how's the ride?

 

I am not but people I know run them and they love it. I'm running a full old man emu heavy bp 51 kit

 

Sounds good man thanks! I reached out to Mike

 

My truck finally feels like a truck. I just got it back yesterday, but I'm very happy with the way it feels.
