Suspension lift... Read and searched mud

[lcmariani]

I have read mud and read mud again. I hear most people like the ome lift, but some say it's not the greatest. I found a nice lift on justdifferentials.com.

From what I have read on mud most people would prefer radflo or king shocks. I am not doing hardcore off Roading. I want something good on road and something good off road. Should I go with the blistien kit above or go with radflo? I was thinking like a 2 inch lift so that the cv joints don't spit as much grease or a 2.5 inch. Most people get ome then want to upgrade....

I would need more information about where you are, type of off-roading you plan to do, mods, you plan for, etc. before I could give you my honest opinion.

My first lift was the Slee medium lift kit with OME. I had no problems with that kit until I loaded up my truck and then added a rear bumper. I now have Total Chaos UCA's and run Radflo shocks. There are pros and cons to both set-ups.

IMHO, a OME setup is perfect for 90% of people out there...again, JMIHO...

Give us some more and I will give you my best guess...

What's the real disadvantage to running the OME heavy setup in hopes of later doing bumpers?

If your spring constants are too high and your car is naked, the 100 is going to run like King Henry's chariot through a rocky road. The ride wouldn't be great.

If you want a 2.5" lift, from what I read so far you will have pretty noticeable stinkbugging as the front won't be able to lift as high as the rear (you want to maintain a certain amount of droop in the front). If you have a really heavy rear end, the 2.5" lift will level out.

If you have stock tires, I'd get an upgrade first as that can lift your car by quite a bit.

I have the Just Diff suspension lift with the UCA's on 17x9x35" KM2 BFG Mud Terrains. LOVE IT!
But, I need another inch or two of body lift to keep from rubbing those 35"'s.

I travel 140 three times a week for work. The other days I am doing work from home or the office. I haven't done much offroading, but I know if I got suspension I would want to. I want something that feels good on the road and does well off road too. I currently have a s***ty stock setup. The shocks are bad and the body roll is crazy. I feel like I have to over use the breaks so that I go really slow into turns. I want something that will support my truck with a roof rack, sliders, front arb bumper and maybe a back bumper eventually. If I went with radflo or king shocks does it really help the ride on road that much? I know they are good offroad, but I need something good all around.
