1.5" lift Suspension Help/recommendations

[Bonzi]

[MENTION=127937]Sauce839[/MENTION] Measure from center of the hub to the fender.

Hi All,

Just reviewing this thread because I am waiting for delivery of my coilovers, rear shocks and T13 springs. I was also planning on a 2.5" lift up front and 1.5" rear.

I already have 275's on if that matters, but... I just measured mine and come up with a 2 1/4" rake on drivers side and 2 1/8" rake on passengers side (per center hub measurements). I guess the drivers side sits a bit higher. Same tire pressure in all 4 if that matters.

So it seems like after I install my lift with the T13's, I will have 1 1/4" rake on drivers side and 1 1/8" rake on passengers side.

Do these figures seem normal/make sense to you? I guess this means to me that if my T13's sag at all, I will be nearly leveled out and I might need to go with T12's to keep closer to factory rake.

Thanks!

Each setup will be different. No is getting the same numbers as the next person so those numbers you posted are theoretical. Seems that people have reported a 1" - 1.5" lift with the T13's in the rear. Plus you also have a lot of extra weight in the front. You won't know your measurements until you get the shocks and springs on.

It seems like its a crap shoot. I just ordered OME 2883's and Bilstein 5100's for the front and wheelers T13 springs and 5100's for the rear of my 2016 TE.

Have you done this install yet? Curious to see final numbers and how your rig settled with this setup!

Its actually a work in progress. I have since made a couple changes. I had a little more rake than I wanted cause I usually don't carry any extra weight. I put the .25 ome top plate spacer in the left front for drivers side lean and to bring the front up. It helped a little but not what I was looking for. It brought the left front up about a 1/4" and also the right front up some so I still had some driver side lean up front. It did even out the rear pretty well from side to side. Could have left it that way but it was a little high in the back for what little weight I carry. I ordered some cooper discover AT3 285 70 17 so Yesterday I decided to take out the front left top plate spacer and set both front 5100s to .85 and I ordered an OME 10mm spacer for the left rear. Good thing I have tools. I told my wife I was making small changes so she wouldnt notice
