    So its been mentioned that I have a spacer in the front and aal in the rear (pics inlcuded). It’s a 2014 5 lug. I’m trying to figure out if I can add more lift and with what.

    Thanks!

    I’ve heard of the blocks you can put in there to lift it I just didn’t know if I could do those blocks on top of what I have @Kingofthetaco

    You can add more height for sure.

    Front (the hardest part )
    Depending on what size spacer you have you may be able to get a slightly larger one (max is 3" of lift)


    Rear
    A shackle flip
    A second different sized aal (if you have a short then get a long and vice versa )

    Both
    Body lift (I would do anything above 1" if offroading and 2" otherwise)



    Things that won't work
    Lift blocks in the rear (it will lower you)

    Also I would suggest Changing your rear shocks out since you have an aal. Theyre probably too short now

    @5 Lug Fury cool thanks! So I was told when I got it that it had a 3” lift in the front and 1” in the rear. You said 3” is the max for the front .. so ur saying I’m stuck with what I have now? Sorry just trying to understand!

    3" is about the most you can go without invest some sweat equity and money into it. If you can find a TC UCA kit(discontinued), you can run coil-overs and have about 8 inches of travel for a mid travel setup. As for the rear, you can buy a leaf pack, shackle flip, and AAL to lift the rear.

    I don't have a 5 lug I'm just reading and learning here but Maxtrax or nobody has spindles for a 5 lug? I don't discriminate with these trucks I like them all short, tall, wide, skinny, shiny,or dull. I have been seeing somebody advertising a, I think, mid travel front suspension for 5 lugs on the home page lately.

    Only 1st gens have lift spindle options. I've even emailed people before asking if they will ever do 2nd gen and no luck. Yeah I think someone is selling their mid travel kit which is a new upper control arm and a set of shocks. Im currently making my own mid travel set.

    It sure seems like they'd give 5 lugs more options. I ran into the same thing when I had the other truck trying to find performance mods they just don't offer much for 2.7 4wd's

    Honestly it adds a level of difficulty that makes these trucks more enjoyable in my opinion. You can always do performance mods to any motor but that depends on your skill set and money you wanna invest. If you want everything to be bolt ons and plugnplay then the 2.7 was the wrong way to go.
