Suspension, the overly beaten bush

Whoop whoop. Thanks for all this help guys I'm loving it. keep it coming. i may fall asleep but feel free to keep going i will catch up

 

2"-2 1/2" is a good height and leaves you some more down travel

884's

 

so bilsteins in the front set at 0 with the 884s and 5100s in the back with an add a leaf. and if i went 2 inches in the front and 1.5 in back so i don't impact the ride too much then should i still get those top spacers? sounds like diff drop is a negative and UCAs only if it really needs it after, which it might. what about wheel spacers or should i just look for new rims with a smaller offset

 

I put a 1/4 in spacer on the front drivers side to fix my "taco" lean. Other than that you shouldn't need any top spacers. As far as wheel spacers or new rims that is up to you..you shouldn't need any unless you want to put your wheels put of the wheel well and give your truck some stance

Before lift:



After lift:

 

Tacos don't rub too bad with 265 65 r17 I think, what's a stock tire? cause these rims and tires came off a 2015 from the dealer so I'm sure they're stock for my 07

 

The tires I'm running are 265/75/16 and before the lift they rubbed just a little bit but now they don't post lift. Someone can correct me if in wrong but I believe you can run 265/70/17 on stock suspension without issue. So if you lift you shouldn't have any worries

 

Correct, you can run 265/70/R17s (which are the same as 265/75/R16s) without a lift. The size is 1" larger than stock. You might have minor rubbing on the mud flaps depending on the offset. That tire size goes excellent with a 2" lift.

 

the 265/70/17s go great with two inches?

 

Yep, it looks very well balanced, almost like the truck could have come lifted from the factory that way. Here are some side by side comparison pics to stock about 2" front, 1.5" rear:

thats what id be getting out of my set I'm trying to put in right? cause I'm down as fuck. lol not to tall but still looks badass

 

I think you would get just a little more up front than I have, but pretty similar yes.

When looking at 265/70R17s try to avoid the E-load tires. There are C-loads available in that size which are lighter, or P-load if your truck is street only.

 

or 255/75/17

 

Yes. I used the exhaust bracket cause I might take out the very harsh AAL and replace it with a longer shackle. I am just trying to level\ clear taller 75 series tires
