2" lift installed

[NC-Expy]

Ok so I finally got my spacers installed, I got aftermarket keys so that I could lift the front a little more than the stock torsion bars would allow. It sits about level right now, I need to go in and get an alignment done as soon as possible. Only question is, how likely are these things to pop out?...

The lip for the particular spacers that I purchased is very thing (about 1/4 inch) and I feel like they could pop out going over a little speed bump? Am I wrong?

Another question, I know I've asked before; but what would be the biggest/widest tire I could fit? Since I want wider tires should I get wheel spacers? I'll post before/after pics soon.

Did you already get the drivetrain fixed?

if spacers are installed correctly you should have no problem with them... mine have been flexed every possible way and never moved... for tires with 2" lift probably a 33x12.5 tire cuz a 2" + 3" BL can fit 35s

Transmissions been fixed for a while bud, my rear diff. was leaking fluid but that was fixed too.

That sounds good. Idk how wide mine are but they definitely not any where near 12.5"

285 mm is about 11.25 in.

Got any pics with the new lift? I'd like to see.

I'm glad you got everything fixed, too.

Sorry, let me upload them now. They might now be good though cause the fu**** sun down here is ridiculous right now.

After:


Not that good of pictures I'll try to get some on flat land later. It's not THAT big of a difference in height, but I didn't get it lifted for the height, I got it lifted cause I want bigger tires. And with the aftermarket keys I got a little more lift out of it and that way I don't put as much stress on the truck.

Pic of the back:



I guess it really just depends on what angle you look at it. From some points of view it looks higher and other points of view it looks lower. Lol, idk!

looks good! is it just me or does the rear look alittle lower then the front? either way it looks great!

I think the front is just a tiny bit lower than the back. I tried to make sure it was as level as possible. I need to go get a damn alignment done, I can't text and drive anymore!

measure all four corners and get the level right before you get alignment

 

[NewbieVet]

smooth man!!

 

[SOLISIMO]

I love it. I personally like it when it sits higher in d front

Nice NC, it looks very good. There is nothing wrong with the pics. Now you need to get some 305/65/r18 tires. (33.6x12x18) it will be exactly 1inch taller than your 285s and almost 1in. wider. I know it doesnt sound like much. But looks speak louder than words

Looks good, if I were you I would go with a 305/65/18. They will look beefier than the tires I have, and mine aren't exactly wimpy.

Agressive looking sidewalls are the name of the game!

Looks great. What keys and spacers did you use?

Ahh, if only I could find some cheap ones! My tires in the 305/65/18 are $300+ each!
