1. What lift Kit / components did you use? Include Spacers.
I selected a hybrid setup which netted me 4" of lift.
2 x SOF4FM Front Coil Springs (Slee Offroad)
2 x OME 860J Rear Coil Springs
2 x N73L Nitrocharger Shocks
2 x N74L Nitrocharger Shocks
1 x SD24 Steering Damper
2 x Slee Front Control Arms
Homemade:
bumpstop drops
brake line extensions
front swaybar removed
rear swaybar removed
Hitch Pin Mod
2. Why did you select that particular lift?
I wanted a lift that would have the abililty to clear true 35" tires and tackle moderate/mod-difficult trails and still ride nice.
3. What tire size are you running?
35 X 12.50 X 16 Interco Trxxus M/T
4. Rim specs - 16x8 w/ "x" backspacing
Stock Rims, no backspacing
5. What caster correction, if any have you used?
Currently I am running the Slee Offroad control Arms
6. Have you had any rubbing issues?
Minor rubbing on rear mudflap, very minor trimming needed. Mudflap is now gone so only rubbing occurs under full stuff due to not having adjustable trackbars on the rig yet.
7. Did you have any Driveline issues? What was the cause and how did you fix it?
As of now, the only driveline issues are some vibrations most likely caused by the fact the original u-joints are on the rig. New ones are on order from the parts shaman and should be on shortly.
8. What is your main on and off-road uses of vehicle?
Daily Driver, camper, wheeler
9. Are you happy with the performance on and off-road your for your use.
So far the on road driving is very good, haven't gotten a chance to "thouroughly" check it's off-road performance. Went on one trip and it performed VERY well. Extremely stable and the front flex is almost matching the rear. The vehicle stayed very level and worked very well.
10. What would you do if you were going to do it differently?
I would go with Slee 4" coils in the rear, I removed my 3rd row seats, but with my rear tire carrier, and gear it definitely feels softer than the front.
11. Any plans on modifying the lift or other related components (Tire size)?
I'm planning on putting the pan-hard adjusters in and changing to 4.88 gearing.
Here is a thread about the differences I made to help get more flex:
