What do you think?

What does everyone think about a PLS600 5" BL kit for my truck with bilistein 5100 on front and back. Tries I'm looking at is 35x12.5x20 nitto grapplers trails.

Did you say 5" body lift? Are you trying to show off your frame rails?

 

[gibby252006]

that kit says 5 in lift. Its basically a 3 in bl and a leveling kit included and it comes with the gap guards.

 

[Wandell]

Yeah, a 3 inch body lift and 2 inch leveling kit is a great combo for those on a budget.

 

[gibby252006]

Cant wait to do it. Maybe in a month or less.

Isn't that going to put your HD bumpers well below where they are in relation to the body?

 

[gibby252006]

why would it be any different then doing on stock bumpers?

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

You shouldn't have a problem as long as the bumpers mount in the same place as stock, but your bumper does have to be lifted I'd imagine as it is bolted to the frame, and the rest of the body of the truck moves up.

 

[gibby252006]

What I was reading the PA body lift kit comes with brackets for bumpers and my bumper does mount where the factory does. It will just take some adjusting since it seems like I will have two brackets..

 

[Cthulhu]

That's what I was wondering Gibby.. I always thought it looked ******** to have a body lift and the bumpers 2-4" below where they should be in relation to the body.

 

[gibby252006]

Ya I would never want my bumpers sitting lower then the body

Don't get spacers + Bilsteins. Just get the Bilsteins and a 3" BL.

Also, while the BL might have 'adapters' for the factory bumper, I'd bet they won't work very well for a beefy off road unit like you have.

 

[gibby252006]

The Pls600 kit comes with everything for the 3 in bl and it comes with the spacers for leveling as well. Im not using the front spacers Im going to use the billistein in the front.

 

[brightwhitesport]

If you want to put a winch on that big ass bumper or use the tow hooks, you'll need to leave it where it is, body lift bumper brackets render the bumpers useless for towing or otherwise

 

[ramtruck4life]

Love the bumpers!! Where did you pick them up and for how much ??

 

[ZakkBaker]

With those badazz bumpers you might as well get a susp lift

 

[ATOM]

gonna need spacers to make them tires fit. unless your buying new wheels too? just out of curiousness, why buy the bilsteins and then not utilize them to the fullest? why not set the bilsteins to 2.8 and then buy a b/l separate?

 

[gibby252006]

Well i will need rear spacers to level out the truck with bilstein in front. I also didnt think about the towing and winch use on the BL. I might just have to wait for the 6 in Lift. Now I got to figure out what one to do?

 

[gibby252006]

They are Boondock bumpers. He is the guy that designed the Iron Cross bumpers and side steps. He left that company and started his own business. Great company and great prices. PS I got mine free won a Military Appreciation Contest. but for front and back I think it was like 2500 you can get different versions and painted to match if you want. Great product.

If your panning on getting 5100 adjustables you can't (well really shouldn't) use the 2" spacers that come with the kit
It's either a 3" BL with 2" spacers or a 3" BL with adjustable bilstiens
No sense in buying the 5" kit if you aren't going to use the 2" spacers is what Greg means
