should I lift the rear for a tire carrier?

[superjuice]

I thought i should get a second opinion on my setup as I'm not sure what to expect from the extra weight. I'm putting a Slee rear on in a few weeks for a trip cross country, probably load a few hundred pounds in as well. Can you tell from this pic if i should get some j's for the rear? i dont have access to my truck right now for measurements. My suspension is: 850j front, 863 rear, L-shocks, MAF drop brackets, 315/75R16 TOYO M/T's. I think when i put the dual batteries in front it went down a tad as well, the picture was taken after the install. I like the stance as it sits right now, and i usually dont keep much weight in it as it is my DD. Any thoughs or comments would be greatly appreciated

I think you should be fine... maybe rock the T/C and see how the Rig sits. If you think it's to low hit up the Man-A-Fre 30mm spacer kit. should set the hight to where you want. I see the front is a bit on the raked side? maybe the pic looks like that?


Phat rig BTW..

X2. I think the J has the same rate as the 863, so you might as well just add a spacer. More stable IMO anyway. I'd have the spacers on hand but go ahead and mount your stuff on the vehicle. Then make an assessment before spacer install. Been there/ done that.

same .. J are just the lomger version .. same rate .. thought you are going to have good level stance ..
