So i just went out to the deer lease for the weekend. First time hauling
anything in the bed with the new tired and level. Heres without the load



And here's with it.


I really want to bring up the back about an inch and a half. What's the best cost efficient and safe way to do so? Blocks? AAFs? I'm an engine guy I don't mess with suspension lol. I'm really busy so I don't have time to dig around on forums, I'm actualy doing this on my break... at 4 in the morning...

So how should I lift up the back aboutan inch and a half? WOuld bags be worth the investment?

Also, mud is fun, all the time!

 

Blocks would probably be the cheapest. Leveling air bags would be sweet.You should plast-dip your wheels black.

My buddy has that same quad that I ride with. He is always stuck.... Pic below of my '10 with the quads.

 

Do yourself a favor and read the threads about the Roadmaster Active Suspension.

 

SD has overloads, are adjustable, won't affect your empty hight and make it a truck loaded and level. Less than $200. Will handle like a sports car.

 

How well would 2 inch blocks with some blistein 5100 rear shocks do me?

 

add-a-leaf will lift it 1.5" and increase payload a bit.

 

hmm. Would replacing the rear shocks compensate for the ride quality taken away from the AAFs? How much stiffer is the ride with AAFS?

I'm definitely going with the AAFs. Anyone want to steer me in the right direction of what brand/part number/size etc?

 

Just ordered a pro comp aal for 110 off amazon

 

looks good JL!Not to be weird or nothin but do you come into Rockwall at all? I swear ive seen your truck before

 

Every once in a while, I work at Lafons for a bit around 4th of July, go fishing out there, and the dog kennel we use is out there

 

Buying some XD Monster 778's next week!

 

Chrome?

 

5100's in the rear are for stock height or 1" lift kit. You would need a shock with coil spring maybe for quick added load ability in the moderate area like 1 quad back there. but the ride might get a little choppy emty. Bilstein has other shocks for lift kit added height/suspension travel to good action. Going with the lift kit puts the tail back up in the air removing the leveling you wanted mt.

 

DRoc, black, I saw my truck with them on it and fell in love.

And I know it will add height to the back which is what I want.. I like the level look, but to me right now the wheels look too "stuffed" in the wheel well since the front end is lifted and the back end isn't

 

Custom dyno or street tunes for maximum return on investment.

And me personally i would add some nice longtube headers for sound and HP
