2014 Installed Pros & BDS UCAs - 3" of Lift

Installed my set of FOX Pros and BDS UCAs last night on my 2014. I saw a 3.0" lift in the front and by association 1/8" in the rear ( your results WILL varry, I have threaded perches) The ride home was sweet. I know replacing the 100k mile oems was gonna be a big step UP but I'm really overwhelmed with the improvement.
TACO rock is gone from my 6 speed at any start angle, nose dive on sharp corners is almost gone but way more confidence taking a hard corner, nose dive on breaking is gone. The added caster from the arm was an improvement in what felt like ride stability at all speeds but still need my alignment. Minor seams in the road the truck floated over them / barely felt it, and going over the jacked up rail road tracks I could feel the wheel get planted way sooner. Took it down a OR dirt whoop section and it was just plush. Overall it held a really good platform and I'm really happy. Feels like a brand new old truck.
And now I need wheel & tires...

 

No lift in the rear? Isn’t it nose high? I can’t believe there was three inches of rake on that truck. Just curious.

 

You can see in the picture it’s way nose high. That’s why he angled It lol

 

Lol!

 

Considering I have 3 Nascar championships in my back pocket I'm pretty confident in my ability to read a tape measure and set vehicle heights.

The rear picked up 1/8"not much. Stock it had major rake nose down. It's level now.
This was the truck before I bought it at the dealers. The wheel gaps show what I'm talking about.

 

Show us a level side picture lol

enough angled pictures

 

So you can drive in a circle. Yeah!!!

 

Your truck looks sharp. Not that it matters but I also have a 2014 and I've been thinking about replacing my ICON setup with Fox or Kings. ICONs were great new but they seem to have faded pretty quickly.

Would you mind telling me the height of your truck, from the highest point of the wheel well rim to the ground for both the front and back? Would you also tell me the size tire you are running?

Would very much appreciate it.

 

Wow, is there a low sodium version of this forum?
Haven't been here very long, so many nice people... (Eye roll)

 

The sarcasm is a must here it keeps everyone sane. Post up pics Once the wheels and tires are on.

 

Thanks I measure from the bottom of the wheel lip ( 17" wheel) to the edge of the fender. Font and rear I got 30-7/8". Keep in mind I have a threaded perch and if you buy a set of pro takeoffs you heights may differ. (Which I have a NEW set for sale) If you get the take offs let me know, I can tell you exactly how far off from my setup you would be for height.

Fak. I just reread your post.... Not what you're looking for. I'm on my way to pick it up from alignment. I'll let you know when I get it in an hour

 

30.75" from the bottom lip of the wheel.
LEVEL.

 

Actually, I think what you gave me is better than what I asked for. Thanks. All I am trying to do is gauge the lift I ended up with in my 2014 against your 3" lift. My kit was supposed to provide 2" and I've always felt like it was a bit more. I wasn't smart enough to measure my before / after. I know each truck can be different but as a reference I'm thinking it is better than what I currently know. Thanks

 

I know my delta because I put masking tape on the fenders and marked an arbitrary full number with a horizontal line. Post install just redid the measurement and subtracted the old number from the new number.

 

Need to measure from center of hub to fender. That’s the accurate way to measure suspension height.

 

This. Tire size and air pressure come into play otherwise

 

Omg... I'm not going to even try to explain this to you.

 

How are you liking the BDS UCA's?

 

shocks don’t lift springs do.

doesn’t matter how high it is long as there’s adequate downtravel, no excessive angle of ball joints, and good camber specs.

flares interfere with accurate level reading because front and rear are different thickness

Whatever makes OP happy.

some people (not OP) get 4600/5100 because shitty ride makes them happy so there is that option as well for those looking for that
