Hey Jeremy @El Duderino ,

thank you for your service.

 

Thank you to you too good sir

 

With this kings lift set
Will i be able to use 33s then without any problems?
Or what size tires should i get then?

Im about to order this thing

 

285/75/16. You will most likely have to CMC cause you will rub a little on the body mount.

 

Cmc? Meaning?

I thought i wouldnt have any problems after using this
Should i go 2.5 or 4inch

 

At this point you should SAS!

 

SAS?
Im planning on ordering this tomorrow
Set for me is much easier than buying per parts
Do they have king shocks in oahu?
Or need to order online only

 

There are shops and vendors both on-island and on mainland that can get you the parts.

As others have mentioned, HeadStrong Offroad is reliable.

Boss 4x4 is another option.

Local options are Combs Performance, Maui Offroad, and that other shop we don’t name on this forum that has 4 wheel drive truck and Jeep parts in Waipahu.

And, highly recommend going with @hacklerjason for installs unless you plan to do them yourself.

Easier also means paying more for things that you will later replace because you find that they limit your capabilities or don’t necessarily meet your needs...like using add a leafs instead of full leaf spring packs.

Do your homework; have a plan; save up to buy once, cry once; and don’t pay full-price on everything.

Other items not in the set you plan to order are extended brake lines and better bump stops. You also might consider a U-bolt flip kit.

 

It’s not a big deal about cutting the cab mount(cmc) everyone that goes wider tires has to do it cause the tires will rub on them when you turn. I would stay under 3” personally. Go with a 285/75/16 if you want to stay with 16” wheels if you go 17 go 285/70/17.

Also you’ll need
These are the brake line extensions.

Aww darnit
Just when i thought i wouldnt need anything else
Now im really frustrated with my plan

I will go visit 4wheels and maui off road
In the meantime i hope discount tire can refund my money from that tire and wheels i suppose to have

Ill lift it up first then re decide again what wheels and tires to get

Maybe hacklerjason
Can help me order everything i needed?
Or he only install things?

Im not 100% sure what to order

 

The links I gave you is all you need to order outside that kit.

 

If i have all of those things
Thats all thats needed?
Just bring it all in for install?

Im a lil over my budget now
Man i wish theres a place i can order all of those in one order and thats it

 

Yea you can bring it to Jason or mod industries or Maui off road. I recommend Jason 100% hes a one stop shop

 

If you’re not a serious off-roader, maybe rethink what you need. Maybe look at OME kits from @HeadStrong Off-Road

No need to spend $3-4K for your use.

Also look into doing some or all of the install yourself if you have the tools and ability.

 

Yeah i think ill ask him for help

 

Im in pm with them

My biggest problem is that i dont know what will work with my truck
What i really needed
All i know is what i want for my truck to look like
Higher ground clearance
None of that bouncy ride
Will fit 33s tires
With all that sad im happy with that

 

Also unless your hell bent on some flashy wheels you can fit a pretty wide tire on stock wheels. nothing crazy but 285's for example fit on stock wheels. 12.5 is a really wide tire almost 13" in actual width. I just went from 285 to 315 (essentially 12.4xxx) and it introduced a ton of other issues and I am on 2.5-3". If you want to keep it near the trim stock with a 1.25 spacer or a new wheel set around 4.3" -12 offset will put you in the money zone. 285/75/16 or 285/70/17 for the win. Going anywhere above 4 means drop bracket lifts and its going to cost a lot more for install since they have to cut and weld some parts.

Other said the cab mount will need some trim. Toss in a bunch of castor 2.5+ should not be an issue with the TC or similar UCA.

You will not be disappointed in the King,fox, ads, etc setups.

 

Makes me wonder how much does it cost to isntall all of this on my truck
How long will it takes

 

Few hours(4-6) around 600-700
