Just completed my lift

[regal81455]

Here are some pics after doing a 1.5" Zone body lift, bilstein 5100s w/ eibach springs on the 3rd notch, freedom offroad UCAs and a 1.5" pro ryde coil spring spacer in the rear.

Ended up 41.5" upfront and 42.25" in the rear.

Also, alignment info - experts please feel free to chime in if something looks amiss but I think it all appeared really good from what I could tell.

Tanks man!! After looking at the pic though I should've straightened out the front wheel - kinda looks corky all cocked and all. I think I'll get a night pic with the lights on after I get them adjusted and post that one too...

 

[Graygoose]

Looks good either way!!

Looks awesome man. That 1.5” body lift is slick.

Nice truck! I’m sitting on 5100’s with eibach springs at 3rd notch and 1.5 spacer in rear as well. I was thinking about. 1.5” body lift and you convinced me to do it. You do the body lift yourself? If so how was install?

Thanks guys!

The body lift wasn't terrible but it will take you and another 4-6 hrs if you're doing it on the ground like we did. For whatever reason the hardest part for me was the rear bumper but most complain about the bed spacers. After the 1st one, rest went in pretty easy. You will need a good jack and one 12" long 4x4 and one 28" long 4x4 so you can get the lift you need.

Here's the goodies pile from Sat morning. Only thing that didn't get finished was the rear brake upgrade to slotted/vented and powerstop z36 pads. Just too darn hot. I'll knock those out this weekend.

Congrats, what tires are you going with?

Looks great!!

 

[co-pilot]

Turned out great!.......congrats on the DIY

i second @JB1 request on choice of tire?

 

[regal81455]

Congrats, what tires are you going with?

Sadly, I just bought these shoes new when I got the truck back in Oct. At the time, I didn't really think a lift was in the works. I'm probably going to ride it out with these for awhile. I know I know.

BUT the thought has already crossed my mind lol so you neva know. I do mostly highway driving so I'm not certain if I want to get a more aggressive tread pattern but in looking the last couple of days I would lean towards one of these three, in no particular order -- just don't know if I can justify spending another $1500 for another 1.5" of tire height ( 34.5" is where I'd like to be personally ).

Pretty much the same I did. The body lift was not to bad. The end result is awesome though.

Looks great, put up more pictures!

I would look at the Toyo AT 3’s the have normal and extreme. The extreme has a deeper thread and are quiet.

Truck looks real nice, Congrats.

 

[regal81455]

Thank you everyone! After a few days on it. I do enjoy the extra height, makes it feel more "truck" like if thats possible and didn't ruin the ride either.

Looks great, put up more pictures!

Will do - I'll attempt some glamour shots

I'll have to take a look at these. You've peeked my interest!

Absolutely agree, I decided to try something different and bough bfg ko2's. Definitely wish I stuck with toyo's. The bfg's aren't bad, I just like the more aggressive tread and think the Toyo's were quieter
