    As the title states, what issues or problems have you had with your truck since you have installed your lift?

    I am looking at getting Billy's up front to level out but I've heard it will damage other parts so I wants hear from you.

    If you have lifted your truck please post:
    • How big the lift is:
    • Mileage when put on:
    • Mileage when you had issues:
    • What issues you encountered:
    • How does the ride quality compare to stock?

    Feel free to copy the above format to make it easy to compare answers.

    I am only having Billy's put up front, not sure if that will make a huge impact

    Hmmm? Well I don't know if your 4x4? That would play a factor. Leveling is different than a full suspension lift? Hmmm, only Billy's up front? I understand what your trying to ask but if your just going to level it.
    Ok well I've had issues, crappy mileage with 285 70 17s compared to stock, I have a 3 inch, uca bolts were a bitch to get back in the same way, choosing rear shocks for my dakars were difficult cause I didn't want the ome shocks. Blah blah blah etc. I have the mileage written down when I did all this but I don't have the time to look all that up right now.

    I don't mean to be a butthead or a rude person, there is a wealth of information on this site if you just look around and search a bit. There are Lots of stuff and problems folks are and have had with lifting their trucks. Pros and Cons I guess you might say. Again didn't mean to be an ass just trying to pass on the TW way and educate!

    I have coilovers set at 2.5, ucas, tsb and icon aal with OME n182's. I put my lift on around 5,000 miles and started having issues immediately. My problem? Bitches.... They wouldn't stay off my truck, and it's only gotten worse with time since I've added more mods....
