First gen lift questions??

I just drove 4000 miles from Az to Ak with about 700 LBS in the bed and I have the 5 pack and I didnt have any issues at all thought it handeled it fine. I have a topper as well and am empty 98% of the time like you said you are.

 

Well they aren't super heavy duty leafs. So they arent going to love 600lbs. Mine squared a bit just having my lawn trailer on there. Why I got the AAL. I doubt you'll be compromised though. They will still flex great.

This too.

 

edit: double post

 

Ah, thanks Lisa.

Great info. Thank you.

It's rare, and brief, for me to be carrying large loads. I have no clue how much I haul when wheeling-camping but it can't be more than 300 lbs (not including my topper)

 

Go for the 5 packs then man

 

Thanks Monte.

I'll be sure to PM you in three days and guide you to another thread with more questions.

I kid, I kid

 

One question now... I see you have the 880s up front.

Does your truck sit level?

 

Do you need to do a front diff drop to keep the short shafts in alighment?

 

Haha!! Asking how to install it?

 

You didn't get the memo?

I'm bringing the kit up to Lander where you'll install it for me.

But don't worry...my old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools.

 

Thanks for all the info. I really appreciate it. And I bet you're right.

 

yes, its come with full dakars and all 4 shock (nitro sports). rear shackles and exhaust brackets bushings everything. i does not include a diff drop kit or any shims for leveling (that i know of)

I chose to have the package shipped to the store to avoid shipping, so i dont actually possess the kit yet. it "should" be in within a week.

from ARB, who owns OME. the heavy duty comes with OME881 while the light duty uses OME880. Rear is all the same

 

Damn I could have that shipped to a store not too far from here.

When they say "Shocks: Front & Rear ARB Shocks included" are they talking about the Nitrocharger Sport shocks?

Because for $980 that's $300 cheaper than what Toytec sells it for.

 

Well I just called 4Wheelparts and asked them about the suspension system.

The guy I spoke with was a total cock smooch. He acted as if I was inconveniencing him with questions and just kept saying, "so are you going to place an order now?"

When I asked him about the shocks he had no idea that there was a difference between Nitrochargers and Nitrocharger Sport shocks. When he asked for a third time if I was going to place an order I said not until I find out if I can upgrade to the Sport shocks... he said call back in the morning and hung up on me.

 

Okay haha sad part is I probably could do it in the parking lot now haha

And wow what a dueshe.

 

Wow. After I place my order I was contacted by the local stores manager who was a really nice guy. He did say if I want free shipping it may take a week or two. As for the shock upgrade, I did not see that option and my guess is 4wp isn't familiar. Kinda shitty. They are kind of a big box company more than likel drop shopping these kits directly from ARB.

 

Yes it does sit level with no load with my topper on when I took it off it had about 1/4 inch rake. As Lisa stated thats what they called for with the 2.7. After all settled in though I only got about 1 inch of lift so am switching to 881's W 10mm enchancer and shackles this weekend to get it where I want.

 

Nice. Do mind posting pics up once you're done. I'd love to see your stance.

Thanks
