MRpink's Build Thread

The before and after measurements are in post #3, but I gained 4” in front and 2.5” in the rear. Keep in mind those numbers are based on my 10 year old (sagging) factory suspension.

I believe the T1 was designed for 0” position, but I would contact wheeler’s directly to inquire about the 0.85 setting.

As for tires, I wanted 255/75 but ultimately went with 265/70 because you can still fit that in the spare tire location.

I followed your thread. Did the similar setup. used eibach shoks instead of bilstein. Gained about 3.5 to 3.75 in the front. My only issue is stock uca is hitting the coils at full droop. Do you also have the same issue? Thinking of ordering SPC or JBA. But wondering if that would solve the uca hitting the coils issue or would that just help me with alignment.

Update: after 200 miles of driving, front settled in about a little less than 2.5". the rear T12 is still about 23.75" to 24"

Thinking of doing the same as you. You have recent hub-fender measurements? Do you also still have the problem with your UCAs hitting the coil spring at full droop? How has the ride been with this setup?

Good thread, thinking of doing something similar, using either the 5100 or Eibach shocks.

I believe the T1 is a 620 lb spring, correct? Anyone have any thoughts on this heavier than stock spring? How’s the ride for daily driving?

I think stock wheels come in 16 or 17”. Mine are 265/65r17, but I believe I can mount 265/70r17 and gain about 1”

Does larger tires affect anything other than odometer?
