Mostly for the "that looks bad-a$$" effect and be mechanically sound as well.
Will I be doing any crawling? In the words of Jerry Seinfeld....."not bloody likely!"
Primary goals - run 17" 285's; keep stock UCA's; properly aligned front.
Minor trimming/mudflap removal acceptable.
Haven't narrowed down wheel/tire combo yet.
2017 SR5 Premium
(4) Bilstein 5100's, front at .85
stock springs (currently)
In no particular order I've come up with the below 3 options for my needs:
1 - Wheelers springs: T1 up front, T13 rear
Set Bilstein's back to 0 (unless this is an issue)
2 - Daystar 2.5 lift kit (spacers)
Approx. 2.5" front, 1.5" rear
Set Bilstein's back to 0
3 - Keep Bilstein's fronts at .85
add 1.5" Cornfed spacers front
add 1" Cornfed spacers rear
I don't know if moving the C-clip on the Bilstein's after the initial setting is an issue or not. If so, I guess I'm looking at #3.
Barring any issue moving the c-clip, I'm thinking the first choice may be the all-around better choice. If I already have 'better' shocks I might as well go with' better' springs considering I'm going to larger tires.
Makes sense to me at least...
So whatcha think? I want the suspension to be stable for what it is, it won't see any hardcore off-roading but would like to for it to last several years under average conditions.
