SLEE 6in lift (1 Viewer)

[RFB]

while on my cross country I ended up installing a set of SLEE 2.5 resovoirs shocks 12in as my radflos two of them anyway gave up the ghost so I hooked up with Armaory at slee and took the shocks with the plan being installing 6in springs heavies in rear over the KING springs 5 in I currently have I'll also be installing front controls from SLEE as well because I'm running castor correction plates now. Anyone have this setup with 37s and is it enough with RTT RACK FRIDGE AND DRAWRS PLUS A 37in nitto hanging in the rear swingout?

At this point buy the Slee front lower control arms. Don't waste time on plates.

I would never personally do it, I have installed a 6" lift with Slee's radius arms and it was top heavy and if you put a RTT and other stuff W0W, hey it's your rig but I never would JMHO having installed and driven a 6" lift

yea i have a 5in lift now with a fully loaded truck and its fine the only issue is rear doesnt have enough space for the 37s its not top heavy in the least, i built the rack 89lbs and the roof top is 119.

Yea I can turn 75 to 80 at bout 70to 75 I rev 2600 to 2800

I have 850j with a 1 inch spacer up front 4.5 inch, rear 864 5 inches and 37's fit fine (loaded it goes down about an inch or so). You Can put a 1 inch body lift if you don't want to cut. I cut though because I wheel pretty knarly for an 80 and want a low center of gravity.

Also lower your rear bumpstop 3 inches for the rubbing, but it all depends on your rim width and backspacing.

Ok I just voiced my opinion, and would hate to see someone flip their baby

What do you mean not enough room for 37’s? I now you’re running a more aggressive offset then I am but where are you experiencing your rubbing?

With a 4.5” backspaced wheel with the lower control arms stretched 9/16”, 3” bumpstops with 37’s, my driver rear wheel just touches the plastic shield for the fuel filler.

I want to cut the wheel wells just would like to see it done before i do it, Im talking the method to cut, Ive never done it, but I never built a rear drawer or roof rack etc.

Here's what is running exactly

That’s what I figured. You can shave the fender lips and shorten your sliders or lengthen the lower control arms ~ 3/8-1/2” to recenter the axle in the wheel well.
I have a few pictures in my build thread of how I did mine.
