OME only in the front?

[Rishi3]

Hey I was wondering if I could do the ome coils in the front only (2.5 lift) and no lift in the back. I may do an inch lift somehow with springs or spacers down the road in the back.
I am a bit of a newbie so could anyone tell me any problems I could run into with this setup?
I also wanted to put 285/70/17 but I know I will need to cut. Will 285s fit in the back with a 1 or 1.5 inch lift and 2.5 in the front?

Any pictures would also be greatly appreciated.

What kind of wheels are you running?

With no rake in the back you'll have a nice bro rake. That should give you decent caster, so no need for UCAs. You'll want a 1.5" rear lift to make it look

Exaggerated picture of bro rake/cali rake, won't be quite this bad


You'll have to trim on the front and prob. lose the front/rear mudflaps. You'll need wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels to clear suspension components on the front.

Ideally, you want to get to the point with your trimming/alignment where you can run the larger tire with no lift. Lift allows on-road clearance, but off-road while flexing you'll still have the same rubbing as no lift.

The front will only be an inch higher which isn't that bad

The biggest problem is with braking and steering if the front is too high. Especially if you ever load up the rear end or tow something. Having the front higher than the rear will make the steering loose.

Keeping it level front to rear isn't a bad idea, but if you load up the back end or tow often, you will need to be careful. That's why all these vehicles have a higher rear end to start with, so they can handle the full weight and not lose good driving characteristics.
