5 Lug Lift

I already have a front spacer and some sort of block in leaf springs that gave some lift. Time for new tires and figured this would be a good time to lift it as well. I have seen many ideas but not sure how well they work on internet. I want to lift BOTH front and rear to fit larger tires. Open to any ideas that worked for you guys. Thanks!

 

What gen are you and what tires size are you thinking?

 

2nd Gen 2007 and i would like 31s or something with a nice look

 

it was either the procomp or fat bob lift with the spacers and leaf adjusment in the back. Just wanted some more heighth. Just starting to get into truck mods as it was my first car lol

 

Wheels matter.

On OE wheels you can run 235x75x15 with no lift, no rubbing, no problems.

It's a 2" dia larger tire, so you get 1" of ground clearance lift.

Get into wide wheels, weird offsets/backspacing and you start encountering fitment challenges.

And you start adding complexity to a vehicle that in the end is still only 2wd base vehicle.

I love mine. Perfect for my purposes. If you want more, a Prerunner or a 4wd may be a more practical choice.

 

The biggest we can go is a 3 in spacer then it goes into midtravel and long travel. You can also do a 1 in body lift but that'll show some gaps between the body and the frame. The rear is really easy to lift some people do another but different size aal, a whole new set of leafs, or a shackle flip.

 

I mean I'm going 33's lol but like you said you have to be careful with bs and offset. Our trucks are very capable for a 2wd but there will always be something you'll have to drive around.

 

OE is a brand of wheels that fit larger tires the best? Thanks for all the help guys I did not want to buy the wrong thing lol

 

OE = Original Equipment

 

ohh so stock rims?

 

and where can you find a good 1 inch body lift @5 Lug Fury ? interested to know how you got 33s on

 

I don't have 33's yet but im in the process to getting mine on. @SamGoingHam has already done it along with a few others. Im planing on 3" spacer 1" body lift and minimal trimming of the fenders. I have to get a different set of rims because the bs and offset has to be right. Note that with 33's a regear will be needed and the components will wear a little faster but its so worth it if you truely offroad.

 

what spacers and body lift are you getting and where from? @5 Lug Fury

 

I got a set of 3" ebay spacers which will replace my 2.75" Readylift spacers

This is the body lift I was planning on going with unless I find a better one

I cant guarantee this will work for 33's but its what I've seen work in the past and its what I'm trying. I plan of having it done before Oct 20th.

 

awesome thanks! what rims were you looking out? and i was planning on doing mine in october so please pet me know how it goes. Thanks for all the tips

 

I'm running Cragar wheels with 33x12.5x15. With the stock rims I ran 32x11.5 easily, rubbing at full turn.

3in Readylift & 1in 4Crawler BL. Chopped about 2ins off the front fender. Probably doing the rear as well. Gear changed from 3.58 to 4.56 with a locker.

 

I thought you did an eBay spacer...Readylift is only 2.75"

 

Yeah, I swapped it for a 3in. Just got tired of having to explain it to people so I just call it a 3in Readylift now.
