Largest tire before needing to change the gears

Rides a bit stiff in the front i did 2 1/2" lift if i did uca would that help with the ride?

 

How much air pressure in the tires? Those are some badddass tires btw, nice choice

 

Thanks i'm happy with the nitos not sure on tire pressure what ever the tire shop set them at i just got it back a few hours ago. It feels like the front is bottoming out when i hit speed bumps at low speeds i was thinking the stock uca don't have enough travel i'm planning on swamping them out to light racing uca in a month or so.

 

You might be running out of uptravel on the speed bumps. That might be what you are feeling on the bumps. Measure center of the hub to fender on both sides, then jack up the truck till wheels come off the ground and measure again. You might be pretty close to fully extending the shock/travel at ride height.

 

What lift did you end up going with?

The ride is going to be a little stiff, that is just the nature of an offroad suspension. UCAs wont affect the ride quality really, better UCAs just prevent that part from being the restricting factor in suspension travel and while a little more maintenance the uniballs are the best option. The ride is more based on the spring rate of your coils. It will probably soften up a bit as it breaks in though.

Also I'd say check the tire pressure, if the shop inflated them to like 45 psi you can drop it down to to around 36 and the ride will feel much mo betta.

 

Yeah run 34-36 for a lil softer ride.

 

Thanks guys I'll try dropping the tire pressure I will measure the travel tomorrow.I went with the toyotech ultimate lift kit from headstrong off road its set at 2 1/2 I didn't adjust it to 3" didn't have the funds for uca yet.

 

Looks like i have lost about 50% up travel give or take will after market uca add more travel?
