TJM Progressive Lift Installed

[hk33]

I watched TJ's thread and finally decided to purchased the TJM 50mm progressive lift. Also installed a set of 20mm spacers on the front.
With the ironman bumper and 9500 winch installed on stock springs and shocks it set low on the front. The ride is much improved over the stock ride.

Measurements from the center of the hub to the edge of the fender flare.

Before measurements
FR 19" FL 19 1/4"
RR 20" LR 20 1/4"

After measurements
FR 22 1/2" FL 23.0"
RR 23.0" LR 23 1/4"

Good looking rig, keep up updated how they work on and off the road.

Are those tires 33" BFG AT KO's like in your sig line?

Lift looks great!

 

[hk33]

Yes, they are BFG 33", they look small now.
I'm very happy with the lift. The stock springs and shocks had 130K.

I like the idea of progressive springs approach. How’s the body lean during highway turns?

I’m looking for a 2” progressive lift as well but don’t want the added height of spacers up front just to match the rear height. Seems difficult to find a rear spring match for those not carrying much weight in back and not wanting spacers.

Thought about combining these TJM 50mm fronts with OME 862 (3/4” medium) rears for a level stance without going over 2”, but not so sure since OME’s are not progressive.

Do you have any weight in the back in the 1 pic? spare tire, 3rd-row seats, etc?

 

[hk33]

I carry a 33" spare in stock location with 3rd row seats, high lift jack and small bag of hand tools. The body is very stable in corners with no sway. Even though I have not done the caster correction yet, it handles as good or better than pre lift. Can't check off road because I live in eastern NM, flat for miles.

Glad you like them. I have a little over 1k miles on mine and the ride has improved even more. Good choice if you need to daily drive your truck.

Where can you get these? What is the lift compared to OME 2.5" lift?

I have about 2k miles on my TJMs now. Installed these after a year of my OME medium kit and... wow, what a difference! In fact, I just got back yesterday from driving a round trip Portland - Los Altos, CA and back and feel like I was driving a brand new truck. The suspension is perfect. My truck feels transformed. For half the trip, I had 2 adults and 3 kids and all their Xmas stuff in the rig and it felt great-- smooth, tight, without being jarring. The other half it was just 2 adults and it still felt just as tight & smooth.

Huge fan of the TJMs here. If you want a lift and an active suspension, you absolutely need to consider these.



Lord, these are amazing trucks.

Slee Offroad can also get it.

I have a OME heavy lift, but thinking about the progressive lift, as my truck is without any armor/bumpers. Since you are in PDX, I may bug you to get a ride in yours, to compare. I am just a web wheeler, so on road ride/performance is my main concern.

 

[MojoRisin]

Did you also go from OME shocks to the TJM shocks? I mean entire OME kit to entire TJM kit?

Im just curious about TJM's shocks

Bump; I would like a report on the shocks too.

[WAF450]

My OME's rear shock just crapped out on me and I'm thinking of getting a set so id like to also know.

 

[MojoRisin]

Id also like to know if you had 305/70/16's or 285/75/16's!

 

[peteinpeb]

I am interested in the 2" lift from TJM. Has there been any settling? Do you have current pictures? That would be greatly appreciated.

 

[VacMan]

Bumping to find out about the shocks too. About to order TJM springs with either their supplied shocks or bilsteins. Some feedback would help sway me.

Thanks.

I have only put about 500 miles on the truck since the lift was installed.
The measurements are the same as they were after the install. If you want pictures I’ll try
to take some this weekend.
