Warlock Lift Explanation - Read this before lifting/leveling your Warlock's

[ncdave]

Hey guys....I could use a little input. I'm just about ready to do some lifting on my warlock. I'm planning to do the UCA and 5100's in the front set at 2.8. I believe this is going to just about level it. I'm concerned with just leveling because I've seen some posts that with gear in the back it'll be a bit squatted. Should I also lift the rear? Has anyone done just the front and what have you experienced? TIA...

It will definitely squat with some weight in it. The stock so called "HD" rear springs are soft. I'm running air bags to temporarily deal with the issue but I will be swapping out for a taller spring that can handle some weight.

If you “level” the truck, of course the ass end will be low with a load. If you lift the rear also, then you are not really leveling the truck anymore…so are you just looking for more height all around, or a level truck?

I prefer a more level truck, although a touch higher in the back so it doesnt look like it’s sagging ass. Then i use air bags for when i periodically load it up.

I'm looking for use as an overlander. I also use it to pull a boat. I had talked to a shop about the front end and they were recommending a 1.5 inch lift for the rear. Just wanted to know what everyone's experiences were with only the front or with both front and rear done. I may just do the front and see how it looks overall and what the measurements are. From there decide how much I want to go up in the back.

I had 3” front and 1” rear but just lowered my front back to 2.5”. I also just pulled a boat that was probably around 900-1000lbs tongue weight. 9300lbs boat and trailer. Squat was pretty good. I have the eibach springs in the rear

I went with the airlift 1000 bags on my 1500 to keep the rear from squatting with a load after going to 2.8. It already had the extra HD springs on the rear.

my boat is just a pontoon, so doesn't carry as much tongue weight. your settings sound like where I want to be. at 2.5 and 1, that may suit me well. thanks!

thanks. I may go with the 2.8 setting and 1 inch in the back. depending on how that works, perhaps the HD spring. appreciate the ideas!

The Warlock comes with the HD spring in the rear from the factory, that's how they achieve the 1" lift in the rear.

Don't appreciate your sarcastic comments. I've owned several half tons over the last 30 years and was surprised of the low payload. For instance a 3.6l similarly equipped may have a 1700 lb payload

Did you just get upset lololololol
