Lift Or Level... Most Confused

I bet it was on bumps in reality as my ome med leafs struggled to hold up a cap and a boat that was maybe 100lbs of tongue weight.


Compared to more lift and a proper spring rate supporting tent/rack/mx4/heavy flipping tool box/285 spare/atleast double the tongue weight.



How it sits without tool box and boat



Bit exaggerated but the principle stands

 

Going up 1" in tire size height SHOULD be OK: from 65 to 70 (265/65R17 to 275/70R17).

I've also read the OEM tires on a Sport are +25 offset.

I also have read going to (0 offset) SHOULD be OK for a little bit of Pokey with 275 tires.

Confirm beforehand and get an alignment after-the-fact.

 

I love the look/stance of your truck.

Took a second to realize it's a Long Bed. lol

Still looks good!!!

 

265’s still look good with a 1.5” to 2” of lift. Rake is good IMO.

 

I'm going to put a couple hundred miles on it before changing my tires. If I have any weird vibrations or noises, they can't say..."it's a tire problem."

 

Yes, your updates will be greatly appreciated!

Likewise for me...my install in April 1st.

I'm getting TRD Lift Kit components/2" shocks up front/1" block for rears + rear shocks.

 

Got my truck back from what was supposed to be a 2" front and 1" rear lift.

Before I took it in I measured from the hub to the wheels wells. Front was 21" and the back was 21 3/4". When I got it back I measured it and it was 21 1/2" front and 21 7/8" back. Over $2K for 1/2". I'm taking it back Wednesday to see what they can do.

Not sure if they got a bad set of 6112's or what, but it looks like they have them on at least the 7th setting from the picture. The picture of my truck...the top pic was not long after I bought it in 2018, bottom pic I took today...well yesterday since it's past midnight.

 

What spring rate was installed?

 

From what I can tell the part number id E4-FD1-Z005B0 I'm trying to look them up now. I sent Bilstein a message asking about the spring rate just now.

Why lift? Coz it's cool or something?

 

Nailed it. Bought it new in 2018, time for a change.

 

Between the lift and one size up in tires it wasn't cheap, but a little noticeable. No regrets.

 

I'm doing a TRD Suspension Lift soon...thanks for sharing before/after pic!

I see you took off the Air Dam.
