lift kit

[Ramrattler]

I have 285 tires on my truck and thinking about a lift does anyone have pictures of a truck with this size tires dont want to go to high been their done that on my gasser 3 inches i think that way i dont have to go to 315 on the tires. Oh yea how about the 2inch spacer are they any good i dont really go off road? Thanks

I've had pretty good luck with the Rancho 2" leveling kit. Not to extreme.



Here is a link to some pictures:

Dpope - do your tires rub? Pictures look great! like you said not too extreem. Very nice. How much was the kit? did it come w/shocks too?

 

[dpope]

So far so good... they haven't rubbed yet. I rarely go off road, so it's hard to say if they would rub...



The kit cost around $240. This includes the spacers and the upper/lower control arms. The shocks were not included with the kit.



The total cost for; Lift kit, shocks (4), wheels, tires, alignment, and labor was around $1600.

The Rancho instructions indicate that this kit is specially designed for a 33 inch tire. Anything larger would rub... .

Joe Mc just got a quote 750. 00 spacer 4 5000 shocks and aliment 200. 00 of this is labor they didnt say anything about control arms i think its kinda high. I may go with daystar 2 inch spacer and some new shocks.

The trouble with spacers is that you don't get any more travel,the 2. 5" coils are the way to go,not to high and they give more travel, wich is nice with that heavy engine we have. Skyjacker makes them,around $200 a pair. Have 'em love 'em.



Click my link to see how it looks,nice and level!

stock height, 33 inch tires, no rubbing in hard turns and/or extreme suspension travel.

Jkern,see my sig. No rubbing ever,315's are metric version of 35's.

I have the Superlift 2 1/2 " lift and 35" BFG's and they rub! You would need to step up to the 4 1/2 " lift for it not to rub, or choose a narrower tire at that height. I had 33 " BFG's and never had a problem on my 94 2500 HD and no lift. I will attach some pictures for you to look at.

Cbrandt,I don't know why yours rub,my 315's never rubbed on my '01, I just put the coils on to make it level.

 

[MChaney]

hey ramthis1 what's the load range on those 315's?

 

[csutton7]

to be 100% safe you need at least a 4. 5" lift for 35" tires to not rub---a lot of guys use the Daystar spacers on their gassers with good luck, but our front ends are so much heavier that's why you need to go with the 4. 5" lift to clear----chris

I have 305 Goodyear ATS's on factory chrome junk wheels. Had no rubbing problem at all even before the 2" spacers from Jack-it.

Spacers were very easy install, 120$, and acually raised the front 2. 5". Sets level with no load.
