Uno lifto question

[3rd gen king]

As you all know I'm 2wd :cry2:

Back to the business, CAN I LIFT THE FRONT 4"???

I don't have to worry about cv's right? But would it mess with the rack and pinion?



Hit me with the knowledge guys

(I'm doing 9 wraps and 5" in the back and 3" I'm the front is gonna look like poop$

CVs arent the only thing restricting the lift up front. Stick to 3" and below or go with a body lift.

Once you go above 3.5" the LBJ's max out, so you lose all of your down travel, it would end up riding like a garbage truck. The UBJ would also kill itself pretty quickly.

There are long travel kits for the front but you're talking a lot of coin to go that far.

Yeah I figured.... Guess I'll just put a fat girl in the back.

The rake isn't that bad. Hell I had 8.75 Wraps (LX450 coils) and 2.5" lift in the front and it wasn't stupid looking.

I thought you were searching for a 4wd?? I'd just stick to your search. After all is said and done, you'll have modified the crap out of yours, but still want the 4wd.

C.O.B is the only person I've seen (not a pro builder), who put the effort into doing a 4wd swap. Everyone else, either leaves their rig a 2wd, or ends up selling to buy a 4wd model.

Don't waste your money on mods, unless you are 100% sure you want to keep this truck. If you do, and don't care about the lack of those front CV axles, go for it! Mod the crap out of it! Otherwise, focus on CL and Autotrader, and find that gem!

Hey any pics of this? I was planing the same idea for a lift LX coils and 3" in the front. I don't mind some rake but I would be interested in seeing what yours looked like. Thanks

I don't really have any pics of it just sitting still in a parking lot. But it may help you get any idea. Keep in mind I always had about 150 pounds in the back, but it only settled about 1/2" with that weight

It made me sad to go look at pics of my old one!

Thanks for the pics, sorry for bring back nastalgic feelings! It looks good though. What was your set up in the front at that time?

I'm looking I'm looking but it will prob take months maybe a year to save up to buy cash-ola and if I drop cash in this one I can just take it off and put it on the new one. Know what I mean:trophy:

A garbage 2.5" lift spacer.
