Bilsteins with 6" lift question

[Bighorn 4 Life]

I had my bilsteins set at 2.8" for 3 or more years. Never had problems with the front end. My front end is an inch taller with these Fox coilovers.

wow no offense but truck looks small for my same setup. what's measurement to bottom center of fender flares


something doesn't look right. did u install both?

Looking from the side it doesn't look any higher than just my 6" did.

exactly my thoughts from ground to fender and nerf to ground

hmm find a level surf ac e and get those measurements

45.5 front and 48.1 rear.(closest to highest point i could find) The rear should settle a little after i put a heavy load back there or tow.

but yeah the front is weighed down from the 300+ pounds of the bumper and winch

idk how those numbers stack up with other people

hmmm well I'm on 37s and have my pro comps at at true 2" extra up front. from ground to center of fender was 50 3/4 rear was around 50.. and that's from flares which actually are a bit lower than factory fender

I've had my 37's on my truck since Dec of 09. I have 3.55 gears with 0 problems.

Had mine with 3.55s also

I just used that link and found that my build has the 3.55 gears as well.

I had my bilsteins set at 2.8" for 3 or more years. Never had problems with the front end. My front end is an inch taller with these Fox coilovers.

I didn't plan on maxing out the bils.. I was going to set them at 2.1 and see how I like it. I'd rather have the back sit up a little more as I don't want the front end higher than the rear. I don't tow/haul much, but when I do, I don't want to be "nose up" by very much.

Nice ! You'll have about 9.5 -10" of lift , with that setup you should be more than good for 37s especially with the -18 mm wheels .
FWIW I didn't find a sticker up front only the rear .

Oh and with 37s , if your running stock 31.5s your overall measurement should reveal aprox +13-14" of lift , hope you've gotta 8' + garage door �� your roof measurement should end up with aprox 90" every truck is a bit different.

You gotta get some good before and after measurements and photos !

Don't worry, R.L.K., I already started a "progress" album that shows the truck from start to where it is currently. Once I get all this gear on, I will let you guys know so you can view. As for the garage, I don't have one for her yet. But we do have plans on building and I promise, she will be under roof with a 9' or 10' door.

After I installed my BDS Fox Resi coilovers I gained an inch. To my front bushwacker pocket flares it's 47". So to my fenders without the flares it would be close to 48". My rear is 48.5". I'm so happy how it turned out. If I went with a 3" body it would barely fit in my garage lol.

I'm going to bring this back to life to ask you guys about where I should purchase my Zone lift from? I'm looking to get:

Zone 6" Suspension lift with 5" coils and Nitto shocks - P/N D21N
Zone 1.5" Body Lift - P/N D9150

I can obviously get these directly from Zone but also found them on EBay and elsewhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Here's another quick question. Would those wheels need hub centric rings?? I'm getting the Fuel Vapor D560's in 20x10. Thanks in advance!

I doubt it. What's the offset of the rim?

 

[Drummin4jc]

-18mm offset. Sorry, forgot to include that.
