Low speed lift recommendations

Aloha,
Looking for some help here, Been off the forum for a while. What I am looking for is a good suspension for lower speed crawling. Mostly lava rock and blue rock where I am at. No crazy articulation, long travel stuff just need extra height to not scrape as much and a soft at low speed to soak up some of the bumps.

my current setup is cbi t3 front bumper in aluminum (70lbs?), mobtown sliders with fill plates (120lbs total?), pelfrey high clearance steel rear bumper (100ish?), front skid is aluminum, mid and transfer skid are steel, gas tank skid is aluminum. I also have a diamondback HD bed cover, steel tailgate skin on the inside. I do carry a small compliment of gear, small trauma kit, viair 88 compressor, large jumper cables (30lbs), tow strap, and shackles. I do tow a 5x10 trailer occasionally. Oh yeah and I carry a full size spare, Koenig 17” rim with 265/70 tires. I would like to go up a little in tire size after the lift. I have already trimmed a little and not afraid to trim more.

 

How much are you wanting to spend? Plenty of options available from about $1500-$4000 depending on how much you want to maintenance it and how long you will be wheeling for heat dissipation.

 

Bilstein 5100

"Low speed lift" also does not really make a difference.

My personal order of lift recommendations

Toytec
Eibach
ELKA
Bilstein 5100
Bilstein 6100/7100
OME BP51
Icon
King/Fox

Garbage Brands to avoid:
Tuff Country
Rough Country
Dobinsons (Controversial opinion)
Ironman (Ditto)

There are others, but cheap is bad. If you want low cost, just get Bilstein 5100s they are the best combo of inexpensive, reliable, and capable.

 

Is "Low Speed Lift" code for "Mall Crawler"?

 

not trying to kill the piggy bank. Looking for good value. If it a really good product I expect to pay more. I would prefer low maintenance, wheeling time normally about 2-3 hours with breaks in between. Most of the time it’s to get remote hunting and fishing spots. So besides my build list in those cases usually a cooler and hunting/fishing gear

 

not at all. My truck has made use of the skid plates on multiple occasions. Low speed as in there is drop on one side and I gotta go slow as to not roll of a cliff or down a large embankment because this cinder I am driving on is shifting and there is a big chunk of rock I need to maneuver around.

 

I love my Ironman lift. 25,000 miles on it so far and rather rough wheeling at times with no maintenance. They have 25% off deals throughout the year so you can get a decent price if you are patient.

 

Getting to places like this

 

Low speed equals crawling type lifts. High speed lift equals long travel and big expensive shocks to dissipate heat for desert running. So, low speed rocks and high speed desert.
You can use high speed lift for crawling, but if you use low speed lift for high speed desert, you will blow the shocks after a few miles.
