You do when your stuffing everything into a RC

 

Y'all are saying u have an aftermarket 4" lift and that's the ride height it gave u? Mine looks like this in the front but not as high in the back and clears 33's fine. Original owner swears it rolled off the show room floor this height too. No lift was added? Anyone else clearing 33's stock?

 

Mine does have blocks in the back but so has every 1st Gen 4x4 I have seen

 

Mine can clear 33s easily rear spring are looking a little saggy hopefully this winter going to get them rearched and add a few in the rear

 

I was clearing 33's stock. My back end rides higher be cause I put a 5" block in.

 

i seen that, whats it ride like with the block? good thing you have ladder bars or your axle would rap allitle

 

Ya' the axle wrap was bad before a made the bars. It dosn't ride the best but I have heavy 1ton springs on it. I also have a 3" block.

 

Thanks for answering most of my questions

I"m debating what i should do for my shock setup, i was thinking i could get away with some cheap-o stock type shocks, just the right length. They seem to compress quite a bit when only jacking up one corner.

I may also try to move the rear-spring, front-perch down 2 inches. That should be enough were i don't need to make custom brackets. It might also give me the height i'm looking for, without blocks. I'm afraid of lengthening the shackle too much and starve my pinion bearing of oil. (i'll have to see how low i can go first, because thats easier to do)

 

I fab'ed a 3" body lift on mine.
I wanted to increase airflow through the radiator.
I have new springs in the truck so no need to get new higher ones.
I took out half of the leaves in the back packs and added suspension bags rides like a half ton but can haul the weight of a one ton.
Works good so far.
