Help rid me of my rock finders

[Von Chaos]

I would like to get a spring lift for my L.C. to eliminate the shackle lift that hangs down so low. The problem is I don't know how much over stock its setting. I'm running 33x10.50x15 the bottom of the body is at 21" off concrete. Please I could use any advice, I like the stance now and would like to keep it the same.

Get a complete OME kit with shackles and you'll be about the same height. That looks like a 2 inch longer shackle with stock springs. Realistically about a 1 inch lift. I'd get get a standard high quality 2.5 inch lift and call it good. You'll be slightly higher, but won't require extensive mods.

X2 and it should handle better because the longer shackles in front have a negative effect on your caster. Does it wander and follow ruts/crown in the road?

I ran into the same configuration (with the same problem), I opted for the 4" Lift (I got a Downey, but there are may choices out there). I had a very similar set of extended shackles, flat, stock springs, and the same sized tires (33x10.50x15).

The lift from having arch in your springs makes a significant difference - I don't smack shackles into rocks as much any more.

The springs ran about $450 with bushings - I kept my shackles, I spent some $ on extended brakelines, and $80 to extend the rear driveshaft.





Good luck.
