As of now I’ve got a 6 inch 4 link pro comp lift on my truck with 35s and I hate the way it sits with the front end lower then the rear. Really wanting to change the whole set up with a new lift, new tire and wheel set up, and just some more clearance/riding quality. What are y’all using for yalls lifts and wheel set ups?? Been really interested in going with a 7inch or bigger and maybe even a body lift on top of that!

Did you make sure they installed the strut cup in the right direction? If it’s upside down I think you only get 4 inches in the front. What was the rear lift height?

Did you get the procomp struts?


I have heard a few members here complain about the procomp lifts ride height. You could just add some front adjustable height struts to bring front up.

If you want a new lift check out BDS suspension, that’s what I have with 37’s and my truck rides smooth. I have pics in my media albums

I bought the truck with the lift already on it so I have no idea how it was installed. Some shops have told me to put the adjustable struts in the front and I’ve thought about doing that, but I have heard a lot of cons of the pro comp lifts and them not riding good. Which is why I’ve been leaning towards switching the lift to a different set up. And also the shop I have taken it to said that the strut cup was installed in the front so it has the maximum height for now

Before forking out more than $1000 on a new lift, if level is what you seek, check out the Billstein 5100 struts. You'll save some money, get 2+ inches in the front and if then you still want to go higher, your Billies are part of the eventual setup.
