Yet again, another Lift reccomendation question

I am a newb in the truck world, and never delt with lifting before, I just really know about lowering and drifting lol. But I was looking for some recommendations on a lift for my 2015. Only looking to raise it between 3" and 4", what would be some good brands that are also a bang for my buck. With that I have 17x8 +0 wheels and was also wondering what would be a fitting tire size with the lifts. Thanks for the help guys!

 

Bilstein 5100's or Old man emu kit. I have the latter.

As far as tire sizing, do you want to trim/cut or no?

All this depends on your budget. Help me help you

 

Preferring not to cut

 

265/75

 

Do you have 2x4 or 4x4?

265/70r17 is generally accepted as the largest tire you can run on a 0"-3" without cutting/removing anything.

 

If you are wanting to do 3-4" then you are gonna have annoying lack of caster without doing UCAs. It might not wear tires but it will certainly wear out your tolerance of it driving all twitchy and shit. IMO, anything more than 1.75 needs UCAs to keep caster right. I know some people claim you don't but claims aren't necessarily facts as often as they are opinions or sales pitches. You can put it off for a bit but I think you'll come around to doing it. It is worth it.

 

its a 4x2,and how much would there to be cut/removed

I'll definitely take your word, and when people say cutting/trimming, what exactly are you cutting to get clearance?

 

Lower plastic near the mudflaps, remove the mudflaps and (sometimes) a cab mount chop

 

If you have a 4x2, I would go with a Spindle Lift instead of coils. You can keep your stock coils and ride, it will keep you from having to buy UCA's and everything stays at the correct angles. For the rear you can either go with an Add-A-Leaf or a new leaf pack depending on your budget and how much lift you want back there.


Edit: @HeadStrong Off-Road is fantastic to deal with, everyone seems to like MaxTrac and they are significantly cheaper than the other options: http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p67/MaxTrac__4_inch_Lift_Spindle_(2WD_ONLY).html

 

What he said.

@HeadStrong Off-Road is where it's at. Great people and great prices.

Also, spindle lift is going to be great for your 2WD application. It keeps stock ride up-front without going crazy with the ride geometry.

Full pack or AAL out back - whatever floats your boat.

Headstrong will be able to answer all of your questions. They do this for a living and are the best.

 

+1 for spindle lift
