Want more lift!

So my current set up is Bilstein 5100 all around set at 2.5" up front on stock springs with 1.5" AAL in the rear. I'm happy with my lift but just need that little more, feel like it's not tall enough.

Would TOYTEC or OME springs give me more than 3" of lift? I don't want to use a block in the rear, what are my other options for the rear? I know I'm going to need UCA's.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

 

Time for mid travel. Kings, TC UCAS, Dakar Leaf pack, Rear Kings. Bam. Done. Adjust it to your likings.

 

You can add a top plate spacer to squeeze an extra .5" out of your current front setup to get you right to 3" of lift

 

If I'm going to rip apart the suspension, might as well replace with springs, imo.

 

Put 885 coils on there. It won't be as high as you want, but yo need to see how high it gets you. Then add a top plate spacer to get it where you waqnt it -just don't go over 3" of lift. You can go up to a 1/2" top plate spacer (1" lift) with 5100s before running out of up travel.

 

I wouldn't do it, but you can always go the body-lift route.

 

You might as well go with the OME 885 as Pigpen mentioned above or a proper spring for the armor you are going to want or payload you have. In the meantime you can try a top plate spacer with your current setup (and alignment). Tearing apart your suspension is not a big deal really on these.

I'll admit it, it's mainly a street queen at the moment, hoping to meet up with a few locals this year and hit up some trails.

 

I have a 1/2" body lift (see my build and body mount bushing thread) and it lines up fine with the bed.

Also, I love my Dakar springs on the rear.

 

I can add a 1/2" spacer to my current set up? I have a Taco Lean spacer on the DS.

 

You would have to move the 1/4" spacer to the passenger side and put a 1/2" spacer on the driver side. I would put equal spacers on both sides with proper suspension upgrades. If you still have lean, replace the body mount bushings (they're garbage and were the cause of my lean - not the suspension).

 

My new body mount bushings gave me a 1/2" lift on the passenger side and a 1" lift on the driver side - measured at the rear body mount. My front and rear sit level (side to side) at the wheel wells.

 

We have a straight up 3" coil for the front, so you would set your struts to 0 lift height then use the coils.

On the back, if you do a 2 to 2.5" leaf spring pack, you'd be sitting pretty good I think.

 

885 with billy's on first notch will give you 3 inches. Progressive aal with the overload spring in will give you 2.5 without will give you 2.

 

Anyone have pics of 885's with 5100 on the first notch???

 

are u 4x4?

 

Hell ya! Lol

 

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to notch them up with lift coils.

And I think Bigfoot was asking because once you go so high with a lift, CV angles cause the axles to be more liable to torn boots and axle failure.

 

Even on a street queen?

 

Pretty sure yeah.
