Shocks

I recently put Falken Wildpeak at3w 285/75/16 on stock wheels. I have a two inch leveling kit on front only issue thus far on front is rubbing on UCA at full turn. I don’t do much flexing just use for hunting and fishing so crossing occasional creek. Question is this going from 31s to 33s and having done nothing to the rear I went over a speed breaker at about 20 and the rear shocks don’t seem to be long enough as when I came across the shock bottomed out. I don’t want to lift the truck
Anymore so is it feasible to put a set of rear shocks on that have a say 2 inch lift and that fix it since I went up in tire size and therefore stretched the stock shocks out.

 

A shock designed for a 2 inch lift will bottom out sooner than the stock shocks and become your new bump stop. Buy something like a Bilstein 5100 that is designed for a 0-1" lift. Will give you marginally more droop without bottoming out before your bump stops.

 

Changing tire size will not change anything in your suspension. The only difference is the overall size of the tire being larger. This will cause rubbing. If you don’t want to lift but want better suspension control then look at Bilstein 4600's. The rubbing on the UCA can be corrected with a better offset wheel, like TRD Pro wheels.

 

Taller bumpstops would also help

 

Makes sense I appreciate it.
