How big is yours? Measure up!

Going in for a re-do. Icon Stage 1 maxed preload based on the instructions in the front...177k tired leaf packs in the back. Freedom UCAs, extended end links in the front as well. Sits at 21" front and a hair over 21 in the rear. Topper and 175lb drawer set up in the bed. Perfect stance just not the height I'm looking for. Contacted Accutune and Alcan for some advice. We'll see what happens. Pic 1 is when I first bought her...heavy ass grandpa hard tonneau on the bed. Pic 2 was yesterday. 265/70/17s in both pics.

 

Are you looking for more height? Are you planning on sticking with that tire size?

 

Damn. That thing is sexxxxxy AF

 

Agreed. What wheels are those? @wtrbrdm ?

 

Should be going under the knife in 2 weeks or whenever I get a weekend free. Waiting on the final items to come in slowly.

Should be a fun weekend. Gotta install the Weboost, fridge slide and other odds and ends in too. I need a different hobby.

 

I'll be interested in your review on the radflo. I've only ever heard good things. Did you get external reservoirs with those? What rate springs come with them?

 

Went with the 2.5s...non-resi. Based on the "offroading" I do, they should be fine. I emailed them the type of driving, terrain, and front/rear truck weight (CAT scale'd it) info. Leaving the weight set up and valving up to them.

 

I don't think my measurements are very precise, but here goes.

Before suspension work:

Front hub to fender: 20.5"
Rear hub to fender: 20.5"

After suspension work:

Front: 21" (passenger side 21.5")
Rear: 21.5"

This is after some settling, but only a few days.

Suspension work:

Front: OME 2883 with Bilstein 4600, + 1st gen offroad 1/4" spacers
Rear: ATS HD leaf springs with Bilstein 5100 and Total Chaos 3/4" lowering shackles



I don't really even feel the need to stuff bigger tires in there to fill in the space. Really just slightly lifted the whole truck, probably not even perceptible to the untrained eye.
