Looking for good 3" lift

Thanks for the advice. I would like to go this route if it doesnt cost too much. I dont know what the AAL will cost in addition or which ones to buy. Or how hard it will be to put the front shocks on. I am a beginner when it comes to this stuff.

 

don't coilspacers cause sagging?

 

so what exactly does it mean when someone says it will cause premature sagging of the rear leaf packs? What, performance wise, does it do?

 

So, does that cause a rougher ride? Or, does it cause the truck to sag down lower over time?

 

How does the everday driver / work truck ride compare with the Eibachs and 5100's at 0 or .85 in the front compared to the above options that do not have the Eibachs?

I want to keep it as close to stock ride as possible and am only looking for a slight lift (2" or less) with the front a little less raked than stock.

At this point, looking at 5100's and aal for the rear...

 

So, if I was to get this kit:

I would get my truck lifted 3" but it would make the springs stiffer and a rougher ride? Sorry for all the questions

 

Damn, alright.

 

Are rough country lifts legit?

How about this. What would give me the best ride (closest to stock) regardless of cost with only about a 1.5-2" inch lift in the front and 1-1.5" inch lift in rear?

 

Cool thanks.

I know these are tough questions to aswer sometimes because everyone is looking for something different and ride 'quality' is subjective.

At my age, i like the stock ride in general, though a little less lean in the corners would be nice. I also would like to soften the rake somewhat.

The slight lift i am considering is for looks and to fit a little bit bigger tire in the wheel well with it being proportionate. Want the ride sacrifice to be minimal.

 

When you say "off roading" your doing some speed? Cuz my Off Roading is walking speed maybe hit 5mph. I would think that no damage would be done. LOL Yeah, I'm an old guy...

 

OME gets my vote. i went for the "cheap" lift with the toytec spacer/aal and hated how my truck drove. it was super super stiff and felt like garbage. since then i sold the spacer lift and went with ome 885's on their n140s and the alcan aal with the n182 shocks. you can get the whole lift from toytec for 699.99
imo its the best entry level suspension unless you like feeling every little bump in the road.

 

Most people go 1-1.5" greater lift in front than rear to level out rake. I recommend Billie 5100's all around with rear shackle (cuz that's what I did ). It gives a ride BETTER than stock imo, though the CG is higher.
