Finally done 4" SuperLift w/35" Trail Grapplers

[hangac1093]

After months of research I got it done. Like most I was back and forth on 4" or 6" lift. I knew I didn't want anything lager than 35" tires. I wanted it to look lifted but not too much wheel well to make the tires look small.

So I went with the SuperLift 4" kit w/Bilstein's. I bought a TGC 1" rear coil spacer so I could get the rear up a bit more and adjust the Bilstien's up front to level. The wheels are Fuel Octane's 20x9" 1mm offset and the tires are Nitto Trail Grapplers 35x12.5.

My goal was to try and get a stance between the 4" and 6" lifts. Not sure if I did or if it is closer to a 6" lift now, but I love the way it looks. I did all the work myself in a weekend. I installed the the rear spacer off the get go and set the Bilstein's to the second ring(.7") and the truck ended up with 2" of rake. So I set the Bilstein's to forth ring(2.1") and and it still had over an inch of rake.

(Edit) I ended up taking the rear spacer out and now have about 1/4" of rake. Current fender measurements below.

Fender Measurements

Front Driver - 43 1/2"
Front Pass - 43 1/2"
Rear Driver - 43 3/4"
Rear Pass - 43 3/4"

Truck looks AMAZING! Exactly the stance I'm looking for. You just sold me on the 4 inch lift. Where did you order those 2500 flares?

 

[Rzrman328]

Looks good bro.

The octanes were my first choice but had them on back order too long when I was shopping around.

Thanks guys. I bought the flares at Mopar Parts Online. They are bare and need to be painted.

Looks good bro.

I was torn between the Octanes and Hostages. Both great looking wheels.

 

[Rzrman328]

Good choice. Everyone has hostages.

I was torn between those two. I went with the Patriot because I really needed the wide step pad for my Wife and Kids. You can pull it pretty tight to the body when installing it, looks pretty low profile and they are 5" wide I think, so they keep down some of the stones and mud the the wide tires throw.

I did everything myself. After I finished I realized it wasn't level so I had to take the struts out to move the snap ring up. It really isn't too bad. All I did was separate the upper ball joint and the sway bar. Then removed the strut. Just watched the rubber brake line, your don't wan't the weight of the knuckle and brake caliper hanging on it.

Yea that looks nice. I already have bilsteins set to max and a rear spacer. But want to go higher. Your looks perfect. I have same tires.
