What REAR lift do you have? POST PICS .75, 1.5, 2, 3 inches

[hoe]

looks good podwarrior63086. but does that z71 spring,what lift extra does that give? I was going with the 2" lift, but if I can get a 3" rear lift spacer, and max out some Ford keys to make it perfectly level or even some cali lean. I would be a happy camper.

What size tires you have, also do you have Ford keys or Stock keys?

Theres a 3in spacer with ford keys out front and 32.5in Tires

Go at least 2in

Are you perfectly level> ?? looks like the back is slightly higher, when I would like the front to be slightly higher (cali)

Can you crank those Ford keys up anymore?

the z71 coils gave me about 2"...more then i thought they would..but im sure that varies from other people.i did it more for the extra load capacity.and got surprisingly 2" out of it

thats really hard to believe... hmm. if I had the cash I would go 3" spindles, and spacers. but it looks like Im forced to stick with a 2" lift rear and keys. BEcause I would like my truck to be perfectly level, and maybe a tid bit Cali.

From what I gathered, 3" front lift on torsion bar keys is impossible.
How much lift do Ford keys offer if you MAX them out>?

Thats with the 3in spacer out back and Ford keys cranked pretty good by pretty good I mean that I feel they are up about as far as I would like to go but there is certainly a bit more room for the key to get cranked... I have the ford keys right to about the same orientation as the stock keys plus maybe a lil bit
I can get under there and take a pic of how far they are cranked if you want...
But yes the back sits about an inch higher
its got about the same forward lean as stock but just up higher

Dude you are going to make me order the 3" spacers and eBay keys 1-3" for front.

I'm going to almost or max the keys to get it perfectly level or some Cali to it.

If this plans sound good I'm going to order. Cause I need to level the truck perfect before realignment

You have to keep in mind that when you push your keys that far you are changing CV angles quite a bit and they will wear much faster if not fail rather quickly. As well as the fact that if you crank too high you wont be able to align it back to how it should be... You will not get Cali lean with a 3in spacer in the back I am quite positive of that.

Im going with the 1.5" spacer to get it PERFECTLY level and then add .3-.5" CALI to it.

1" rear spacers

^^^ I had a feeling I should have go 1 inch, but with these tires, last night I looked again, they may still need the 1.5". I have to install the rear today, the keys upfront are already installed, backed almost all the way out and its a tee higher than the rear, already.

If my 305 50 20s looks small I may tray 305 55 20s a 33" instead of my 32" but then sometime I think a 325 50 20 looks awesome.

im with you. i thought i had to go at least 2" in the rear, but i didnt want a huge gap between the bottom of the fender and the tire. I like them "stuffed" looking. looks burly IMO. but I'm happy with the 1". leveled out the truck and wasn't too much of a gap.

post pics of what you ended up doin!
