3" lift and 33s. Help what does it look like. is it good

3 inch with 33s, went to RCD recently so it's a bit taller now.

 

Awesome looking set up!!

 

toy81 what set up did you have on that 3" lift?

 

I had a 1.5 spacer in front (giving 3 inches of lift in the front), and a 1.5 inch block on the rear. 33x12.5 tires on 20' rims. I'm not usually a fan of 20s on a truck, but I purchased the truck with these rims and they have really grown on me so they are staying.

The spacer lift stiffened the truck and caused it to ride like a skateboard, and the wide tires rubbed often even after trimming. It did look good though...

 

How you have 1.5" spacer and have a 3" lift?

And 5100s should help the ride some I would think

 

suspension geometry bud its not lifting straight over the wheel assembly its lifting 8 maybe 10 inches inside of it. think of it sort of like a triangle. ah the beauty of ifs.

 

Confused bout the 1.5" spacer giving it a 3" lift?

 

Basically a 1.5 spacer gives about a 3 inch lift because of the geometry of the suspension. It's a similar idea when using the mechanical advantage of a lever with the pivot point sitting closer to one end. Think of a shovel, you have to move the handle up or down a few feet to get the digging tip to move a few inches. 1.5 inch spacer at the shocks gives a 3 inch lift at the end of the suspension "lever" where the tires attach.

 

Lol im sorry im completely lost on what your trying to explain. Im just looking for a lift to clear 33s\12.50s. can I push some 3" lift springs from somewhere and then some nice shocks with the rear leaf pack to level it all out?

Was told pro comps 3" lift is a little rough, anyway to buy the pro comp lift and make it any less harsh?

 

im just curious if anyone knows whats the best riding 3 inch lift. and to jswmsw10 so far what i have read the 12.5 tires do some rubbing.

 

I run 33x12.50 r17 MTZ's on 17x9 addicts with 4.5 backspace. I had to cut the cab mount for off road capabilities. I ran the 33's for a couple months with out cutting the cab mount and they rubbed the front bumper. I have a 3" ome lift and 33's will rub. I like my lift and am satisfied with the overall ride.

 

3 inch with 285/75/16 (33's)
