First, my apologies for yet another noob which lift/suspension thread… I am really looking for some recommendations from the form, because despite reading everything I could find, I am still nowhere close to making up my mind on what I want and honestly, feeling pretty lost.
My ultimate goal is to end up with a truck that I can take camping, do some off road trails(nothing too extreme), handle some Texas mud but still look fairly stock, almost sleeper like. This will be the car that I will likely keep until the wheels fall off and I want my kids to have fond memories of road trips with dad to be in this car.
Id like to end up with a 1.5” to a 2” lift, level out the truck but Id like to do it right. Basically, full kit. Control arms, leveling kit if needed, shocks/springs, etc. Basically, buy once, cry one.
I will likely be running a 32” tire (275/65/R18 on the OEM rim or if I change to a 17” rim 275/70/R17) and will not likely end up going over that for forceable future. I’d like to retain the quality of the on road ride if possible although it seems like everyone seems to be much happier with the on the road ride after they upgrade the suspension anyway.
So far, I’ve been looking at an OME 2” medium load and Dobinsons 2” medium kit but I know that there are other options out there.
All that said, I know that I am not a mechanic nor am I a professional off road driver. Id like to get some comments and recommendations from this group so I dont f it up.
TLDR; Noob wants 2” lift. Recommend a good one.
Thanks in advance!
