What do you guys think about me doing this lift?

 

garbage

 

Get a proper lift. I have the same type of lift (not this specific brand though) and I can't wait to get rid of it. it's nice having a lift.. But it's a really rough and bouncy ride and I can't take it anymore.

 

Daaannng, whatcha looking at to replace the lift you have now?

 

What you got on yours?

 

Leaning towards ome. I hear good things about bilstein, but seems from what I've gathered here is ome is a bit more comfortable riding. And mines a dd. I feel every little bump, nook and cranny as it is now. My shocks and leafs are all pretty much shot too though.. Especially the rear. Front is on its way.

But yeah, probly ome with dakars.

 

5100s and eibachs front. 5125s and skyjacker leafs rear. Just get toytec 5100/ eibach kit or an ome kit.

Just think about how the strut spacers in those kits work. They just move the whole strut 1.5-2" which gives you about 2.5-3" ride hight lift. Problem is is that when the tire drops in a pothole or goes off a bump the suspension wants to droop the same amount as lift but the ball joints bind and spindle hits coil causing wear and problems. Then when you hit a real hard bump since strut is moved down it will bottom the shock before it hits bump stops causin causing damage and a rough ride.

Blocks in the rear are bad on these trucks because the extra leverage causes the axles to wrap more easily.

 

Awesome man, thanks! I'm gonna check out toy tech, only sucking thing is saving up for everything haha but I'll have her done eventually!
