Lift question??

While I've been in the process of replacing my wheel bearings, I've noticed my ome springs look a little rough (rusted, but not leaking.. yet)... been looking through the fox kits, icon kits, king kits, and even the more budget friendly options ... bilstien 5100 kits, Ome kits... I want the most lift possible ... whose lift give more lift than the others? (Reason for this is I'm sitting 4" now with a top hat spacer, and my 33-12.50's barely fit ... so just want to make sure I have my clearance) ... I'm also open to the 6" zone lift with the drop brackets, but am not sure I want to do all that custom work to install that... what are y'alls thoughts on this?

 

If u wanna go higher than i think ur looking at a drop bracket only.

Howd u get to 4" without spindles?

Ur running ome 3" and a 1" spacer it sounds like?

 

Yeah, it's what came on the truck ... I mean I could do an icon stage 1 and a 1" body from toytec??? What do you think?
... I do like the drop bracket idea for the front components (cv angles, uca doesn't need replacing ...), but is it worth making my truck irreversible??

 

Dunno, not a body lift fan personally.

Different strokes tho.

Crap, im not a db lift fan either.

Im sure someone will chime in with an idear.

 

Do your off road adventures demand jumbo rubber and a high lift?

 

I'll be honest, I do a lot of out door sports and camp ... more of a pavement/mall crawler lol ... just want plenty height and clearance for 33-12.50's lol

 

Seems like smaller tires, that will provide function you need, would be a more budget friendly approach. Allows for less wear on the truck too.

 

I wanna keep my 33's so what's the best of the options ... budget isn't really an issue honestly, just want height and a decent ride...

 

I'd consider a mild (1") body lift less of an issue than a bracket lift as far as stressing your truck off highway. From what I've seen drop bracket lifts used for real eventually start fatiguing the frame or cracking brackets. If you need more than a good lift and typical reinforcement & armor can give you then gotta bite the bullet on a full blown long travel IFS or solid axle swap.

 

How much trimming has been done? Wheel spacers in place?

Lift doesn't always create the solution needed for too much tire.

As far as hardware, folks here seem to rave about solutions offered by Marie at Headstrong Offroad. I'd start with a call there.

 

Cmc has been done and a good amount of fender trim has been completed... no spacers, wheels have plenty of backspace... I'll give them a call
