Low Range Off Road 3/1 lift/level kit anyone?

The 5100's have adjustable height by setting the spring compression, this sacrifices ride quality, to get a better ride with a lift you need shocks and springs.

Spacers are a cheap and easy way to lift the truck while retaining similar ride traits. I put only a front 2-1/2" on mine and I've been happy, but I wouldn't use it for real rock crawling or banging up hills.



This is 2-1/2 and zero in rear. Plus 50lbs of mud.

 

Is that kit a true 1 inch rear block? cuz u achieved almost 1 3/4 inches in the rear? just wondering for when i order

 

I actually like the look as well. I might swap them out for something else down the road. Something black. I like the whole black and blue motif.

 

The block in the back is approx 1 1/2 ish tapered block. Maybe 1 5/8.

 

The ride is absolutely no different than stock. I really like it. I'll be keeping my eye on things as it "breaks in" but I love it so far. I don't "off-road" per se. I just live in Iowa where winter can be a bitch and I may do some light trail driving, like hitting a fishing spot or just some light hauling etc...nothing serious.

 

Truck looks great!! Did you just use the LROR 3/1 kit or did you add anything else to it?

Lookin great!!

 

Added nothing except the LROR kit and the BFG KO2s. Thanks bud.

 

Am I missing something or does is your front higher than the rear?

 

I'd be willing to bet his back is level or 1/4" higher now that is has had time to settle.

 

What size of tires?

 

How bad are the cv angles?

The back is slightly lower than the front but not really that noticeable. Not really sure why that ended up that way. I looks pretty level to the naked eye for the most part.

 

Seem pretty decent to me. My mechanic buddy said shouldn't be anything to worry about. I don't have a pic of them at the moment.

 

I'm going with the rough country 3inch lift. Looked a lot at the LROR but never heard reviews on them just rough country

 

Well I like the LROR a lot so there's a review. lol. There are some on the LROR website.

 

LROR. My is almost dead level (driveway has a pretty good slope so no that is not a "Bro Lean") maybe 1/4 inch diff in height.

 

I like my LROR too, put it on Labor Day weekend.

 

Do you have any pics? @TMA777

 

I wish LROR would make this kit as a 2" spacer with a 2" block for those of us looking to keep stock rake. Looking at the pictures with stock tire sizes 3" is a whisker high and 2" looks perfect in my opinion. Pricing out full lift kits it's tough to justify the cash for 2-3 inches lift in a truck I wouldn't wheel hard anyway. With a diff lock the slight loss in wheel travel caused by the bump stop wouldn't affect the light wheeling I think most guys would be doing in a new truck anyway. Also all the comments I read on here about how bad rear blocks are makes me wonder how much real world experience the people making those comments have. While I wouldn't want to go past a 2" block I've seen a few guys in older Toy's hammer on 4" blocks without them getting spit.
