Hey guys, THIS time I think I'm probably within a week of getting 'er lifted and am debating on which way to go.
As of right now, 43K miles on the truck. Ranch Hand brush guard (112 lbs). Stock suspension is saggin' bout half an inch.
I would love to do a full 3/1 but I dunno if that'll work with the brush guard.
Here are the options:
LRO - I like it over the Truxxx kit. I'm not sure if I like the way it just pushes everything down, but I'd go with this over a Toytec kit or one that preloads the strut.
Bilstein 5100s - ANYBODY know if they can hold the 112lb brush guard without sag? The guy at Bilstein must not have been in today so I can't get a definite answer.
I talked to one of the guys at LRO and he seemed that I should probably go with the Bilsteins but the OME would be the preferable way to get the desired lift - for a long time. Also, I'd be looking at $196+20 shipping for Bilsteins then add another $30 or whatever for the diff front - through LRO, so I'll probably order through them.
Can anybody shed some light on whether or not the Bilsteins will support the 112 lbs without sagging? If it sages 30K miles down the road a half an inch, no biggie. The guy said there was a lifetime warranty on 'em (not sure if sagging would entail a fix).
Also, can someone show some pics of the spring perch on the move?
I hate to start a new thread but I sorted through this information for about 2 hours last night and came to these conclusions, but unfortunately, the 112 lbs is what is keeping me from just doing a spacer lift, as well as the fact that I am already seeing sag.
