1. What lift Kit / components did you use? Include Spacers.
Slee 6" springs
1.5" aluminum spring spacers
14 inch 5150 Bilstiens
OME steering damper
Rear bump stops
no front sway bar.
Custom modded rear sway bar.
14 inch bilstiens 5700 (?) or are they 5500? the have a remote resivoir and does not use busing but a spherical end.
2. Why did you select that particular lift?
Looking to run a roughly 37 inch tire.. In running trails that get you high centered or caught on the sliders with 35's and J's going this route seemed logical
3. What tire size are you running?
37 inch SSR, Grooved and Hammered. Saving coin for something new. Wouldnt really recommend this tire now that there are so many other good choices out.
4. Rim specs
17 inch pro comp extreme alloy. 5 inch bs but i run 2 inch spacers. I am going to go to a 16 or 17 inch steel wheel 2 inch bs once i get new tires
5. What caster correction, if any have you used?
I have custom built front control arms. Looking back I wish i had just done a 3 link. These work better than stock but would have done it differently.
6. Have you had any rubbing issues?
None, I run no bump stops up front
7. Did you have any Driveline issues? What was the cause and how did you fix it?
I run a CV joint up front. rear is stock except i did new joints at same time of lift. I adjusted the rear arms back to stock angles
8. What is your main on and off-road uses of vehicle?
When i built this rig it was not my DD. I am now DDing this vehicle and my toy with some things like a front sway bar, Defenitly getting different tires as these are LOUD and UNBALANCED.
9. Are you happy with the performance on and off-road your for your use.
Sure. i have 4.88's, Thinking i will go supercharger in the next 16 months.
Ya so far. Its hard to find the happy medium where you still enjoy driving it on the road yet still have the results off road. I just drove it from utah to illinois and it was very drivable, a front sway bar would have done wonders though
10. What would you do if you were going to do it differently?
I liked my j's and the progression but doing it once is always better. I have the "stiffer" rear six inch springs, go with the softees
11. Any plans on modifying the lift or other related components (Tire size)?
37's seem like a great size. no bigger (anytime soon) wouldnt mind having an extra set of 35's to throw on if there is no wheeling coming up.
