Should I lift the rear on MY 04 SE?

andrewgray · May 3, 2007

I had a local shop install a "2.5 inch front leveling kit" on my 04 SE V8 4x4 with XREAS. I am running 285/70/17 BFG AT's. What should I do now? 1. Nothing, 2. lift the rear 1 inch, or 3. lift the rear 2 inches?
Thanks for helping me out.

I would lift it an inch to make it level and not nose high. I have the front 2 inch lift and may soon be lifting the rear .5- or 1 inch to make it a tiny bit higher in the rear.

I'd lift the back 2 inches from where you have it. by the way what tire size is that? the truck looks great.

sorry, just saw it in your post. I got here from the gallery and really didn't read what you wrote. anyway, I think it looks great but the back needs to go up up, 2inches for sure and it'll look mean as hell.

Thanks for the votes

The winner was a 1 inch rear lift. I have already ordered it from Burtman. I just hope the locals at the tire shop can install it without ruining my XREAS! I will post pics once it is done. Thank you for your time.

not to worry, at least you'll only have 1 more inch to go once that 1 inch lift is installed in the back

: j/k. hope you like it, but if this is your rig with no weight in the back, it needs two inches in my opinion.

yup

That is my truck, but before the 33 inch tires. I personally hate nose low vehicles. The Cornfed 3/2 looks okay to me, but still too nose low. I will see what the 2.5/1 looks like and if I don't like it, I can always change it. I personally think the real addition is the 33's and the spidertrax. I don't like any more lift than what is necessary to provide clearance for tires. Rolling an SUV is a bad thing I hear.
