Lift Question

Will this setup make the front of my truck sit higher in the front? If so, what can i do to raise it another inch in the back with this kit?

Just buy bilstein 5100 shocks and adjust them to either .85,1.75 or 2.5 for lift up front

 

Id like to do that but im ballin on a budget. I might just go with spacers

 

That kit should provide a level stance. Spent too much on the '13 model?

Front Bilstein 5100s with and aal out back would run about $250.00

 

You can't get that kit you linked to....it doesn't have new shocks for the front. I don't think OME springs will work on the stock shocks. Send YotaDan a private message or give him a call. Wheeler's is awesome and they'll get you a much better kit than spacers for about the same price.

 

Would the 5100s work in the front with the dakar leaf spring set? or would that be too much lift in the rear?

 

It would work, you'd probably have to set the front 5100s to the 2.5" lift setting if you went with the stock springs which may make the ride a bit stiff but it would work. The Dakars are awesome leafs. If you can afford it, I'd add the OME springs to the front and leave the 5100s set to zero. That would give you the right amount of lift and not too stiff of a ride.

 

Dumb ? And sorry op to thread jack but how much lift would the 5100s set at 0 and ome 885 coils give? What would the outcome be if I went ome coils and set the 5100s more than 0.

And yeah I have been eying the dakars for a while now.

 

Around 2.5" set at 0 and I wouldn't pre-load them if I were you. They weren't meant for it and it would be REALLY stiff......may even damage the shocks. If you wanted more lift, you could add some top plate spacers for pretty cheap.

 

Okay good to know. Thanks for answering the noob questions.

 

I just really feel the need to state the following…

Take the advice given here and move on to seek more. Not trying to point at anyone in particular, just saying that some folks may think they know it all and perhaps they themselves where misguided/misinformed or just really don’t know squat.

Do take the time to do your homework, shop around rather then just settling with one comp and go with what feels right to you based on your own research.

 

I appreciate the advice. And to no disrespect to anyone I always take all the advice and answers I get here and then make my own decisions. It is also a good point to make that I always make decisions based on what I want/need personally rather than what is cool or what everyone does. Thank you.

 

Rep points for you
