Subtle Lift: Recommendations?

philsey said:
I just had 5100's installed, front & rear. Had the adjustment clip set in the second (.85) ring. I got almost 1.25" front lift and it looks nearly level, very slight rake.

The nose dive (ride spongyness) is reduced noticably, and the overall ride is noticably firmer, but by no means hard.

I got 3 things fixed all at once that annoyed me.

Thanks for this info, I just ordered a set of 5100's and I have been back and forth between .85 and 1.75 and looks like .85 is what I'll go with because your results are exactly what I am looking for. Could you post some pics of how it looks?

At the shop now having 5100's installed at all 4 corners as well as the new wheels being put on. Going with the .85 setting. Will post up my before and after measurements as well as pics when it's done and the rain clears.

I got about 1 3/4 of lift with the topout spacer on mine before I went ahead and lifted the whole thing. Here is a pic when it was leveled. But if you even think you might want to lift just do the lift to begin with I got new rims and tires and leveled it and about 2 months later decided to go all the way and had to have the struts pulled apart again costing me another 200. 1st pic is leveled with stock rims and tires second pic is leveled with new rims and tires 265/70/17 terra grapplers

You say you that the second picture is leveled with new rims and 265/70/17 tires yet your signature says 285/70/17. What size tires are on the truck in your second picture because it looks really good with that size!
 
Well, all done. The rain is stopping me from getting pictures today but I do have measurements.

Before

FR - 34.6
FL - 34.4
RR - 36.25
RL - 36.25

After

FR - 35.4
FL - 35.5
RR - 36.5
RL - 36.4

It both looks and rides very good. Very happy overall. Pics as soon as the weather clears.

I'm having a metal shop cut my center caps down and re-flange them right now so they will only stick out around a half inch. Should have them back in about a week.

Nice set up.What are the specs on your wheels? Im planning the same set up and keeping the diameter at 17.Still trying to figure out what offset and backspace on the oem TE rims.How do you like the duratracks so far?

hamiltonj2w1: IMHO, your rig is the "sexiest' 5GT4R on this site . . . .
