Lift recommendations?

New here. I already have the cab mount relocate kit installed, just need a decent suspension. I’m looking to get into over-landing, I saw an Old Man Emu kit complete with leafs and all and that caught my eye. I’ve also considered the Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro products as well.

Is the Old Man Emu kit a good way to go? Experiences, and any knowledge on the products would help me out a ton.

 

There are somewhere between 8 and 12 billion threads for lift recommendations on this site, they can be found via the search bar in the upper right.

 

Thanks man

Welcome to Taco World!

 

Here's a counter intuitive thought.

What's not 'decent' about what you have today?

Has not being lifted caused you any problems off road yet?

Budget?

How will the vehicle gain 90% of it's mileage? That's what you want to build to, at least IMHO.

Define your expectations of what 'overlanding' means. (it matters)

We actually do like to help folks out. But suspension options are abundant and people's opinions are more abundant. But more details on your expectations will result in answers more likely to align with your goals.

 

Good questions all around brother I appreciate your response.

Clearance of bigger obstacles is my biggest headache right now. I have a pretty nice dent in my driver side rocker. Nothing some rock sliders won’t prevent but the extra clearance would benefit me all around.

 

Recognize that a suspension lift doesn't gain ground clearance at the axle lines. Approach and departure angles are improved though.

Sliders and maybe skids can be more valuable than a lift in many cases.

 

Do it, do it!

 

Here’s something to get you started.
