lift installed

[spenedwrds]

i just finished installing my lift. the rear was really easy, everything went in and out smooth. the front was a little more difficult but. im very impressed with the way it turned out.

Front: Taco Bilstein 5100 with Toytec/Eibach coils.
Rear: lc coils 8 wraps with some monroe shocks. (gonna replace these soon. to stiff for me)

heres a pic. its in the dark. ill post some more in the morning after i get the allignment.

get some gloss black spay paint and go to down on your fender wheels and frame...itll make it look alot better.

 

[spenedwrds]

thanks man!!!

 

[spenedwrds]

yea i know its still a little dirty from a trail ride the other day ill give her a bath tommorrow and clean her up real good and paint the wheel wells

Looks sweet! Definitely post some daytime shots of it.

What setting did you put the 5100's at? I saw in another thread you were thinking of doing the 3rd setting. Also it looks really good.

 

[spenedwrds]

Thanks! And it's on the first setting it got really hard on the seconded setting so I moved it down. I was at 32" all around now I'm at 37 in the rear and 36" in the front Im waiting till it settles to see how it looks. I may move it to the second if it has a big rake. I'll defiantly post pics in the day time tomorrow

 

[SCRunner12]

Nice, yeah the 2nd setting would be a pain to get in. I think the 1st setting will be best since the LC's will sag and should become even with any kind of load.

 

[spenedwrds]

Yea I have some pretty heavy subs in the trunk so that should help with the settling. I'm very happy with the turn out. I love it! Really gotta climb in now hahaha

Looks great man!

 

[steezemcqueen]

Stay with the 1st setting. You will get like 4.5 inches of lift if you go to the second.

 

[spenedwrds]

thanks!! heres the day time pics.

 

[spenedwrds]

yea im gonna leave it. its sitting pretty level. i can only notice the rake when i look at the numbers

Edit: Oops, double post.

 

[Beach Runner]

Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but when you say the 1st setting are you talking the bottom setting? Or one up from the bottom? I'm getting ready to do the install myself and I'd rather not do it twice if I don't have to. BTW......it turned out nice. I like the stance.

 

[spenedwrds]

The bottom setting is what I put it on. And thanks I kinda wanna widen it a little more. May get me some spacers. I'm not sure thoigh

 

[Beach Runner]

Thanks for the clarification. I'm debating on sticking with 265's and spacers or going to 285's.

Truck looks awesome. Im ordering my front bilsteins today! Cant wait to show it off!

 

[spenedwrds]

Yea mine are 265. They look fine but it would look even better with 285 i want a set of them but i just bought these tires about 8k miles ago. And I love the way the billies ride. They ride great I wanna drive around town just to show her off hahaha
