1" lift with bilsteins 5100 and custom rear add a leaf

Driving report:

Ride is a little stiffer after front lift. Had to change sway bar bushing because bar started to "clunk" after lift, making an annoying noise.

Personally , I don't think I would go with the higher setup with this bilsteins since I don't would like front suspension to get stiffer than it is right now.!!

 

With federal 265/70 R17. Huge difference with prior 265/65 R17.

 

En buen hombre.

 

You may notice the front will sag a little over time. I put my 5100's in at .85 and got a bit over an inch of lift initially. It's settled a bit and now I think I'm just under an inch which is where they were supposed to be anyhow. I've got stock replacement springs in the rear (3 leaf) with a 7/8" block and it sits about perfect. Just ordered some 265/75/16's for it last night.

 

Thanks for the insight on the bilstiens , i have been contemplating them for my toy!
