Best 2"-2.5" Lift Kit

885's , 5100's at 0 and full OME Dakar leaf packs. Not to expensive and gets the job done. Rides great on and off road...

 

What's yer wheel tire combo?

 

Here's my new wheel tire combo. 285 BFG KO2's and 17" "ICON Alphas.

 

Could you please link me to where you purchased all your items. My current TRD sport suspension is a bit stiff when offroading and I need to do the upgrade

 

Billstein or Billstein/Eibach

 

I’m very happy with my icon stage 2 lift. Only have about 50 miles on it so far. Ride is great and it was about a 2” total lift without adjusting the fronts

 

Bilstein 5100 all around with OME 885 and 1.5 Deaver AAL,ride is good, i used HeadStrong,hard to beat them

 

Pics??

Very cool looking truck.

 

I 2nd the recommendation for the bilstein kit from HS Offroad --- I added the 5100s with the HS coils and HS progressive AAL. Install was fairly straightforward

 

Truck looks great. What size tires/wheels. Cab mount chop?

 

265/75/16 KO2s. I didn’t have to cut anything. No rubbing except a full turn in reverse on a slope. Very happy with it. Hoping to put on a set of new wheel bearing assemblies from @05Taco4x4 on Sunday and hopefully report on the noise difference...

 

I saw dk-crew post my exact tire so I had to join TW! Been reading TW for years, but now I have suspension issues...


I am a stock 09 pyrite mica DCLB with BFG Ko2 265/75r16's in need of a slight lift.
On a 4-person field trip with ordinary gear I bottomed out my stock suspension on not a very bumpy road - embarrassing my driver...
I have a ~250 lb canopy and hidden hitch which probably contribute some sag.
I have a slight rake (still with the canopy), and would like to keep it that way so a big load in the box wont make me nose up.
I want about 1.5-2" lift all-round, and a little load boost to improve ride and limit sag with a heavy load. Have been looking hard at the OME kits that appear to achieve both.

As I understand it - anything less than 2" really can't be done, anything more will start to make me look silly unless I up my wheel/tire combo. I just got the Ko2 so that's not going to happen. BTW - no rubbing whatsoever so far with the 265/75r16 Ko2's on stock suspension.

If someone could nail the coil/shock/leaf/spacer combo for me, my driver would be very happy!
I apologize in advance for being a noobie on this stuff - I had to google "AAL". lol
Will post a selfie soon!
thx.

I think I'd call Marie at Headstrong offroad or shoot them a note with your weights and they'll get you going. You may want OME coils in the front to support the weight of the winch and bumper you have up there. And for the back you'll probably want a new leaf to support that weight so it doesn't sag. My setup is basically the stock weight so it would differ for sure.
