3" inch leveling lift suggestion

Group i receive from the suspension suplier a 3" front and 2" rear leveling kit.

1 1/4" front spacer and a 2" rear spacer is this correct??

I ask for a 3" front and 2" rear leveling kit and i got this!!

I dont know how they do the calculation for the lift can someone help?

 

Roughly double the front spacer thickness to determine the resultant front lift. It is not a 1 to 1 ratio.

 

So if it 1 1/4 so it will be 2.5" total lift??

 

Yup. Approximately.

 

Ok thanks

 

Or you could do it properly...

 

How

 

Since this is not a 1 to 1 ratio; my front spacer is 1 1/4 " since i been advice that double the spacer thickness will be the total heigth of the lift.

My rear spacer is a 2" block

I ask for a 3 " front lift and a 2" rear lift

 

I dont use the truck for offroad i barely used it and i will like to have a level truck

 

I sent a PM

Even on road, you can break your struts with too much spacer lift. I don't know how much is okay and what's too much. The key is that you only have so much travel available on stock components. When you lift, you use up what would be down travel. When you lift with a spacer, you need to lengthen your bump stops so that the strut doesn't bottom out - which can cause it to break.

 

I personally think the spacer thing is a myth but you could buy bilstein 5100's for the front. They are adjustable shocks with .85 1.75 and 2.5 settings. I would suggest an aal for the rear to minimize axle warp.

Thanks for the information.

But my big question is to be shure the 1 1/4 " front spacer will level my truck with the 2" blocks at the rear

 

You should be pretty close. The front spacer should yield 2.5 inches of lift. Measure from the hub to the bottom of the fender and do the math.

 

But from the supplier i ask for a 3" front and 2" rear does mean they send me the wrong kit?

 

Usually the front spacer lifts double the height of the spacer.

Uhh...

Thank you. Beat me to it. LOL

 

Well there you have it myth busted. OP get the spacers and make sure you get taller bumpstops.
