Suspension lift recommendations
Hello all,
I have a 2008 SR5 Currently installed Rough Country Lift and leveling kit. 3" up front, 2" in rear. I am looking to do a suspension lift on it. So recommendations for one My old 2001 I had, I did Bilsteins along w/ OME coils and I liked that. For my current 2008 if I go with 3" up front and 2" in the rear what is recommended? Also if I wanted to do 4" up front and 3" in rear, what would be recommended to get as well as need to be done. From my reading it seems if I go over 3" up front then I also need to replace the control arms?? Any insight/thoughts would be very much appreciated. |

Ride quality is best between 2-2.5" of lift, you can run a little more without losing much ride quality (3") 4" you'll go through a lot more joints, CVs etc and have reduced ride quality
I'm running personally ~2.5/2" of lift and it rides great on/off-road. If you really want the height, go with larger tires. 35s and a 3" lift will net you ~5.5" of ride height increase vs stock. |

Do you have a link to the OME kit you are referring too? Quote:
But I also wonder if maybe that is just because the front struts are the original ones on the vehicle and perhaps they just need to be replaced, and it would correct the rubbing issue. The rubbing occurs when backing up and turning the wheel and I have noticed it when I have an adult passenger up front with me and I am turning. |

Thank you. |
Just a follow up on this thread.
Went with Bilstein shocks. Used OME 2884's up front. Set the collar on the front shocks up one rung from stock/default. So I think that is 0.85? The lift looks good and where I want it at....I think it will settle down a bit My tires aren't rubbing, so I am happy. We will see what they say when I take it for an alignment. |

Report back on the alignment and post pics! |

I would like to replace the spacer lift and OEM suspension with a shock/spring combo that will net the same lift (or, up to 0.5" more). Will the equipment you recommended be an equivalent to what I am looking for? Are other parts needed to safely run this setup? Quote:
Thanks |
