If he cranks them too high, the truck will be extremely rough. Imagine hitting the little bumps on the street in front of your and it feels like your is climbing up curb after curb. Very bad for the truck not to mention the driver.

 

That's why I recommended new shocks. I'm running a 2.5 inch kit with correct length shocks, and the ride is fine. Mind you, anytime you customize the suspension, your going to compramise the ride. The scenario your talking about with curbs, is describing what it would feel like without new shocks.

 

New shocks only help with the bottoming out of the truck. It may help a little with absorbing bumps but not much. I thought the same thing before but Hammer shot me down.

 

Im the only guy thats going to tell you not to crank anymore. If you gained 2" with the keys, leave it where it is. Other things come into play besides the shocks not being long enough. What about your CV angles and the Upper control arm and its ball joint? a 2" levleing kit already puts the control arm and cvs in an angled position. You most likely can't get away with much more.

Just make sure you check all that if you plan to crank more. You dont want your control arm to rest on the coil spring at full articulation or down travel, and then make the upper control arm's ball joint the limiter. You would be changing out ball joints sooner then most.

Check your CV angles while the truck sits in thr driveway, then take the front wheels off the ground and check them again. Just don't crank an extra inch blind. Why make your front end any more unreliable?

But hell if your the kinda guy who doesnt worry about that ****, make yourself happy and crank away.

Personally, to solve the problem, I would just go down to a 1" block in the rear, and leave the front alone. If you want more overall height in the future, just get larger tires if they clear.

 

^ +1 on the CV angles, but you might also run into alignment problems with your camber.

 

ya, I would not crank the tbars anymore then 2". it will put alot of stress on the front end. just go with a 1" block in the rear. how much does it nose dive with a 2" block on there?

 

pics would be nice!!!!

 

True. Let's see what you're talking about.
