2.5" Bilstein 5100 in front, ? in the rear

Stock leaf springs and airbags FTMFW

 

Haha thanks. I'm glad I can help with your productivity

 

Air bags would be my next.

 

I am thinking about them... Just wondering why no one (aside from a few in here) uses them. Something isn't right!

 

What size tire are you running cause my stuff should be here tomorrow and I'm kinda skeptic about putting this or a 3"on my truck until I get tires if I can do it and make it look level and nice looking with my 265/70-17 for now I will

 

isn't that a 32" tire? Should look fine.

 

It's come out to be a 31.6 so yes a 32

 

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. Because I know 265/75R16 is a 31.6". That's all I plan on running with a 3" lift. Any bigger and I feel it takes away from the look of the lift and just looks like you have big tires because they're "squeezed in" to the fit.

 

Do some searches for firestone ride rites. There are tons of people using them and I've not seen any complaints. For daily driving they don't really lift the rear unless you inflate them a lot. I wouldn't try to gain more then maybe 1" in the rear or your ride will suffer and be real stiff.

 

Well that idea's out the window.

 

Ride rites kick ass. They will take stress off your leaf springs and make handling while towing or hauling super nice. The added lift is a great bonus but not the main reason to get airbags.

 

2.5 with stock springs up front is gonna ride hard. I just did my lift and Im glad I stayed at 1.75. In fact if I could do it all over I would set them at 0 or .85 and paid extra for a taller spring.

 

What did you have in the back?

 

Put down the crack pipe. You really believe your truck rides the same after preloading the springs so much you raised the front 2.5"? It may not be stiff as a board but if def is not like stock.

 

I know mine isn't just like stock but sitting at the 2.5 setting was a better ride quality than 1.75 .. in all honesty my truck handles just as well as stock..but again I'm an Sr5 so the shocks that came on it sucked anyway so anything was an improvement

 

^ I thought you went to jail???

 

I am in jail ..just know the night shift on my j pod it pays to know people

 

Don't get too excited...just was able to have my phone...only one in my cell

 

What kind of trail did you go on?..a lot of cross axle sections?

 

Are you running oringnal springs in the front
