One Brief and Quick Question On Lifts

[77Bronc]

I know the forum is riddled with recommendations and info and the search button is your friend, but I would like one very simple solution, reliable and quality.

Vehicle: 2015 TP, no KDSS

Miles: 33,000

Tires: Factory 265's

Objective: Level the front end, mild lift, possibly go to 275 tires in the next 10000 miles

Do not want to go into changing the UCA's, exaggerated lift, causing drive train and alignment issues.

Want to maintain the outstanding ride the 4RNR has, one of the best ridding vehicles I have ever owned.

What is the easiest and most reliable ways to accomplish this? Even though I am very hands on, will more than likely have a local shop install.

Thanks for any recommendations you can make.

Check out Dobinsons struts and coils. Spacers are the easy "fix", but they will subjectively make your ride a bit more harsh. You can get a 1-1.5" lift up front with the C59-296 or C59-300 front springs, and C59-599 or C59-505 rear springs (if you want to keep some rake). Replace your struts with what Dobinson has or go with 5100s. You wont be required to get UCAs with that mild of a lift, and 275s will most likely fit for most uses. I dont know how they are going to fit fully stuffed offroad, but day to day you should be good.

Mike @ Dobinsons has been extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. He's very active on here, and would certainly help you out.

Here is the Dobinson thread. Tons of options and they all are well explained on the front page.

Bilstein 5100 on all 4's, use stock coils and set the front's to 1.75". That should be more than enough.

I plan to go with the Eibach pro truck lift. Wont find much info as far as reviews but I'm gonna give it a shot and see what I think.

17 TRD OR non kdss

I think this is pretty good advice. There's a lot of people that use this setup for exactly what you're describing.

$400 - levels the truck with a popular set of shocks. check out the Bilstein 5100s.

This. Exactly what ive done.:bluejump:

If you want to retain the factory ride characteristics then don’t lift. There are tons of posts about minimizing front end brake dive, for example, and 5100s are a common recommendation. They may stiffen up the ride too much for you.

 

[salong53]

Bilsteins on all 4 corners. Front at 0.85" setting to level the ride. Quality set of OEM size AT tires.

Forget going to 275s. Tire selection is very limited, and E-load rated tires are overkill if you're wanting to retain factory ride characteristics.

I hate guys “search” police guys, they usually have 500 reply’s to threads that say search. My thought is if you see a thread that is a repeat just leave it alone.

let me fix it for you....


"I hate guys, who get all butt hurt because they refuse to use the search button, they usually have 300 useless reply's on useless threads defending people who don't know how to search. My though is if you see a thread that is a repeat just leave it alone."
