Opinions needed

Ive been reading on this site before i ever bought my truck about aftermarket items. I want a lift that doesnt require new uca's. I started out wanting a spacer lift but i think i have gotten away from that and looking at 5100's. I dont do any hard offroading just going through paths to hunting spots. Mostly for looks for the most part. I do have new 265/70/16 street tires that were on the truck when i bought it last month. I want to get new rims to fit my tires i have now until these wear out then i will step up to 265/75/16. Im thinking 16x8 with backspacing of 4" or 4.5". Been looking at the dick cepek dc-2, konig countersteer, scs f-5, or pro comp 7089. All these have these baxkspacing. I would like yalls opinion of which lift and wheels/backspacing i would need. Also, im concerned about having vibrations from lifting as ive been reading.

Im in a very similar situation. What im doing is getting a Rear TSB done at my dealer, if that dosent work out then just get a 1.5" aal. Then putting bilstein 5100's around in all 4 corners. Set the front bilsteins to 1.75". This is a pretty cheap way to get a quality lift that shouldn't require new UCA's.

For the wheels, all those you have listed are good. I personally went with KMC XD Enduros 16", I can run the stock tires on them perfectly fine and then when they wear out I will put on some 265/75/16 BFG KM2's or MT MTZ's.

If you have any more questions, ask away, im happy to help.

Good luck man.

 

Thanks for your reply, do you have any pics of your setup?

 

Toytec and OME both offer a few different kits that might fit your needs and budget. Pricing will vary, but I always like to recommend that you make a budget for yourself and go from there. There are a lot of proven setups out there so it would help if we know what kind of budget you're working with.

As far as wheels are concern, I can tell you that from the ones you listed that only the SCS F-5 are hubcentric. Our wheels will fit snugly and tight on the hub just like the factory wheel which greatly helps reduce and minimize vibration issues.

 

i plan on buying taller coils to achieve lift, as i would also appreciate the stiffer spring rate. 5100's set at zero to dampen the stiffer springs and a 3 leaf aal with 5100's.

sounds flawless to me but obviously, i havn't driven it yet.

i would guess 5100s on stock coils or any coil-loading spacer to be fine for street use. i just get tired of riding around on the bumpstops when off-road
