As much as it still surprises me, I have a specific need for my truck and it being dropped won’t work anymore.


I’m putting the ride height back to stock and then adding 4.5” lift. It’s going to be a lot of work.

The front end will be completely rebuilt and I’ll be adding upper control arms to compliment the lift. Shocks, springs, spindles, Timken wheel bearings.

The rear will have to be unflipped, blocks added, new shocks.

I’ll be running a 17” black ProComp wheel with a 33-34” tire.

I’m still trying to figure out the end links for my front/rear sway bars so if anyone has any ideas or part numbers, it’d be a great help.

I’ll be selling all of my lowered stuff once it comes off. For the record, this is what it looks like now:

 

And here’s what it looks like now.

 

How does she feel and ride? Looks good from here! The hybrid wheels looked cool too tho 😉

 

I did the same! I liked both evenly

 

It rides good. I had to trim the bottom of the front bumper a little because the tires rubbed when a did a full turn to lock.

 

What lift kit did you choose?

 

Rough Country 4.5in. 239N2

Front is spindles/springs.

Rear is blocks.

 

You never said why a lift was necessary? Did you buy a cabin deep in the woods? Take up fishing & hunting? Banjo lessons lol?

 

With the recent crap going on, all the above. Lol

We want to buy a camper this year and do some traveling.

I know I know, buy a diesel.

 

I have a diesel. It tows like my Tahoe. Granted, it's a Ford 6.0 and the vehicle it's in weighs a solid 7500lbs I bet, but still. I expected better. Still downshifts, still need full throttle to pull some grades, still need 3 light years of traffic gap to pull out

it does get significantly better mileage loaded tho! Worst I've seen with her loaded is 11. Tahoe is having a good ******* day to pull 11 loaded
