Finally pulled the trigger on the lift (4" progressive)

[Alexbv]

After a spending more time than I'd like to admit reading and researching I decided on a lift and picked it up today.

4" progressive TJM with adjustable shocks. The quality looks great and I'm excited to do the installation which is my first major mod.

Hopefully next week are the 315 MT/Rs which seem to be out of stock everywhere.

I didn't get the sway bar brackets yet and the guys at TJM said the stock bum stops would work fine. Any suggestions or tips on this items or the install are welcome.

I think you are going to love your TJM springs! I know I love mine as I also have the TJM 4" lift! I have larger wheels and tires and a few more mods coming very soon as well.

Nice,
Hey Rodney did you have to add to your bumpstops?, did their caster bushings bring it back to spec?

Thank you, I got them at Dependable Off Road in Anaheim but I picked them up at TJM itself in Corona California a couple of blocks from work

Yes, I don't drive the Sami as much but can't bring myself to get rid of it. (love to surprise people with much more expensive trucks on the trails)

It was about 1,150. I thought it was a decent price.

did you recall how much was for adjustable panhards .:?

 

[CruiseOrlando]

looking forward to your review. I have the 2.5" TJM, and I love it (although I probably should have opted for the 4"!)

I've been really busy but they will be installed before the end of the week. I 'll report as soon as I drive it.
It will probably still have the 305 AT's since the 315 MT/Rs are not available right now.

I have been pretty busy so I had Steve at Dependable Off Road install it and just picked it up and drove it home.

Although it was a short drive and about 5 minutes of freeway so far it feels better than the oem coils and shocks. Except for feeling a little wobbly once driving out of a semi-steep driveway at an angle and kind of fast. On the street it felt surprisingly smooth and the steering tight with no weird vibrations. Can't wait to play with the shock adjustment and se what difference it makes.

Here are some pictures.

I think it will be perfect with the 35's (maybe 37s later) on black steel wheels, tube bumper with my Warn 9.5ti, rock sliders and some kind of semi light swing out bumper.

WOW!!!!!!!!! Night and day. Looks bad ass!!!!!!! And yes you will need new shoes on that truck.

 

[92LXAZ]

Amazing. I know PM is important but talk about instant, visual gratification of money well spent. Can't wait to lift mine.

 

[82much]

To Alex---Nice Lift. How much did dependable charge you to install the lift?

If you are looking for Wheels, Imperial Tire in Whittier has Black wheels for $500 for all four. Ask for Art..

 

[allan man]

That looks great and surprisingly leveled....i think once you get those adjustables dialed in that wobly thing you are describing will firm up ( unless your sway bars are not connected )....what did you do for caster? TJM 4" lift which one did you get mediums,hard,sport or is there only one kind? I noticed that the springs are black did it come that way? Sorry for all the questions but im sure wondering minds are curious......Thank you for sharing


also is there any driveshaft vibrations on or off gas? at high and low speeds?
