Finding a solution.

How's it going everyone? So I've been researching a lot on some 3" lift kits. Found out that my leaf springs are shot, basically frowning. So now i'm trying to figure out if theres a complete lift kit that i can get to not only get me a 3" lift but also replace my springs. Or can I get away with the springs I have right now and maybe just do a 2" shackle? I've come to a 3 different kits that i'm thinking to pick from. I would like to also get a new UCA to help with my alignment.

-Toytec Ultimate lift kit w/ bilstein shocks
-Toytec 3" lift with bilstein 5100 shocks
-OME 3" lift kit.

UCA: total chaos or light racing?

I'm open to other options and other parts to replace while I'm doing the suspension for reassurance/ reliability.

 

Stay away from extended shackles - they mess with your ride / handling and go with a quality leaf spring pack that will give you a good amount of lift.

Why do you want 3" of lift? Is it to clear tires or for looks? The most lift anyone usually goes with the adjustable shocks you mentioned is 2.5" or less. To clear 33's you only need that much or less along with some trimming that would have to take place with 3" anyway. Plenty of people get by with LR UCA's, it's really up to you how much you want to spend and if you'll be getting full articulation out of your suspension a lot.

Check out for some good off road leaf springs too.

 

I appreciate the info. Still new to this. Basically just want to run 33's with a 16x8 or 9" wheel. I was just looking at their site last night. Do you know if they have a forum discount code ?

 

No forum discount on Wheelers.

 

does anyone currently with the OME complete lift kit or the toytex ultimate lift kit have any insight on their suspension decision ?

 

They do have one.

You have to reference the forum when your order is placed.

 

Bummer should have done this when I ordered super bumps. Could have sworn I read that they didn't discount them, but I get a little cross eyed after hours of reading posts lol.

 

They don't have an official discount, but a discount nonetheless.

 

I had the full OME kit, and I'm still running the front coilovers. The Dakar leaf packs they come with are nice, I found that they rode very stiff in conjunction with the nitrocharger shocks unless you're carrying a fair amount of weight in the bed though. I have the 882 coils in the front, they ride very well for me.
