Can you lift your truck and still keep the stock ride quality?

This is pretty much what i did man. I installed my kings in the front first to level it then did the rears. It drove great, i was just waiting for my rear suspension to come in.

 

I understand it’s stress on the springs an shocks maybe stock uca aswell but how is it unsafe ?

 

Because any educated truck owner who has lifted multiple trucks and actually uses them knows that spacers are literally bad for your truck components. Experience that’s why

 

It is better to have your lift and shocks be one unit, not pieces. The main concern is the stress on components. Why do that to your truck is my point. You also get what you pay for

 

As I said I understand the stress on components etc . But you said “unsafe” making it sound like the wheels gonna fly off or smt . Just trying to understand .....not argue .

 

Tolerances change. If you use it off-roading shit can crack. Seen it

 

I Understand ..... thanks

 

I hate to say it, but closest you can get to stock ride, is a drop bracket lift. You keep UCA and CV angles same as stock, and some of them use the stock shocks with a huge spacer on them. I'm not recommending it tho. Nothing good about higher CG with soft suspension.

 

Lift with stock like feel




...apologies just imagine it’s a Toyota and not a Ford

 

I think 885s on the front with nothing on back will be slightly higher in front. I did 5100's all around with 885's and a 1" block on the back and think it looks good, about a .5" rake. Most of my driving is around town, and it rides great with the 5100's

 

I had a 17 dclb trd offroad.. installed front 5100s with the oem springs at the 3rd notch and 5100s in the rear with a 1.5” block, I was running 265/75-16 KO2s...

It rode as close to stock as I’ve ever felt for a lift setup. I sold it to my dad and every time I get in it I’m surprised at how soft like factory it is.

I now have a 2010 w OME 885s/nitrochargers/095R rear leafs and the 3rd gen 5100 setup is definitely a softer/dailyable setup.

Hope this helps.

 

Agree. OME is stiffer. Made for more constant weight

 

Definitely.. both fantastic setups, you can’t go wrong with Bilstein or ARB. All just depends on what you want.

 

I just bought ADS front to replace my OME fronts. Going to see how they perform with my Dakar’s and rear OME shocks before I get matching rears. The OME has excellent load bearing capability

 

Would love to hear how that works for you! I love my OME setup w the Dakar’s. I have a canopy on full time and tow a boat quite a bit.. what a huge difference over stock.

 

I have a soft canopy which weighs like 20lbs. Honestly 300 lbs in the bed feels ideal. Towing my 13’ pontoon boat I get 18-20 mpg on road trips. I’ll bet your canopy makes the ride great

 

Thank you guys for all the input! Still trying to decide if I wanna go 5100 all around or pony up and put the pro suspension on. Couple restless nights will help me decide.

 

You could do 6112’s with 5160’s in the rear. This should be a little better than the 5100’s
