took the rig out today and beat on it a bit, damn this is a nice setup!

Big bore twin tube shocks just plain work well. Looks great!

 

[Billfish]

Looking so fine. Be interested to know how much downward articulation you still get.

Looks awesome!!

I should have a better idea when I get it twisting out on the trail...

 

[Billfish]

or...you could jack up the front of the chassis on one side behind wheel and measure how much lift before wheel contact on that side is lost.

 

[MScruiser]

Bill, that would take the fun out of it though.

Looks awesome...can't wait to do the same. If you get a chance, would you mind measuring the total height of the truck with the lift? Can you specify how much lift you want from this kit, or it is standard?
Also, rough estimate, how much did it set you back. If you don't mind me asking.

 

[kreiten]

well my wife is not to hot on the lift, she can no longer reach the rear hatch once it's open to close it)) not kidding! guess I'll tie a little rope on it for her!

The front coilovers are adjustable wih a spanner wrench, so you can definatley crank them up for more lift! I will get some measurements for you on overall height etc. The kit out the door with UCA, install etc was under 3k

Oh wow, not as bad as I had thought. Unfortunately, I was thinking of going a little less...like maybe 2" in the back and 2.5 in the front. I'm worried about hitting the top of my garage door. I'm wondering if 295/70/18's would fit...also wondering how bad it will kill my gas mileage. I guess we just can't worry about silly things like that.

eyeballing it on my buddies garage it would be close, I'm 6'4, his garage is about 6'8 I think, and I would say if the door was jammed all the way up I could proly flex her in there! I've got the 275/70/18's and have plenty of room, you could get those 295's on there forsure! As far as gas mileage after the lift, I have really noticed no difference, but then I'm having to much fun driving this beast all over the place to worry about that

total height is about 80 inches

 

[kreiten]

Really interesting… I got 4". Would you mind measuring center cap to fender lip for me whenever you get a chance? We have exactly the same setup except my shocks aren't the Pro's. Wonder if mine was sagging when I got it? Just doesn't make sense that I'd have gotten that much more than you.

Measurements are 23.5 front, and 24.5 rear from center of axle to lip of fender.

my front is 23 inches and rear is 24.5 inches...

 

[steenh]

Guess I had a saggy ass cruiser... Great to know and thanks for measuring.

hey if you also have time can you measure total height of the entire vehicle?? from floor up to top of the roof rack?? thanks yes I do understand you have the 275 if MScruiser can do the same it would help lots of us also with clearance issues for city driving

[Skiime]

Thanks Kreiten. Can't wait to see some action shots...and some rock sliders.

 

[r3run33]

thanks for the info now we just need MScruiser with his 35 to compare

Hold your horses! I just got home from work (they let us off early because of the ice storm.
