Planning on lifting my truck in the next couple of months and want to make sure im understanding and ordering the right parts.
Here Is what im thinking of doing,
3in spindle from rough country
2 or 3 in coil, Not sure on what brand or size. If I go 3 I would have to replace the upper control arm
Not really sure on the rear. Dont know if i want to go with blocks or aal.
May do a BL if im not happy with the height.
Dose anyone have a picture of a 5f/3r lift compared to a stock 4x4?

Sweet its a good looking truck. Did he replace the upper control arm since he did the 3in coils? or do you not have to? Also how high did he have to lift the rear to keep it level?Originally Posted by Chevy4life11
I see you have a 5/2 lift on yours, how dose it compare to a stock 4x4 truck?
debating either a 5/2 or a 6/?
my 5/2 was as high as a stock 4x4 z71 but i now have 3inch spindles 2inch coil spacer and 3inch body lift, i believe he replaced the upper control arm and his rear end is werid i think for some reason he only has 1 or 2inch block in it idk why ill have to ask he might have put an aal but i dont think so

so your about an inch lower than your buddies truck. What kind of coil would you recommend running.
what do you guys think about this kit?

i think you can get it cheaper if you just get rough country spindles and springs and all that seperate imo

dose rough country make the lift springs? Where would be a good place to order to order all the parts from?
i know rough country doesnt sell lift springs.
by the way nice truck.

Something very wrong about those spindles. I didnt read the listing, but something isnt right with those.

IMO...
Rough Country Spindles
Springtech 3" Springs
Springtech UCA
3" blocks
I run a 7F 4R suspension and I have about .50" cali. IMO it looks sexy with the nose sitting up just a tad.
For one those both look like the fit the same side of the truck and they look like the knuckles that came with my buddies kit for his 2004 4X4. doesnt look like a 2wd spindle to me.

thanks to brad519 for sig
Have not order yet, Getting everything set so I can save up and buy everything at once. Might have to wait to do tires, don't know if i will keep the stock rims or get a different set.
That is what im thinking im going to run, but in the rear i might do a 2'' block and a aal.
I would not run an aal because the ride is super stiff, but its whatever you want man. If you are worried able axle wrap cause of tall block.... I wouldnt worry too much about it. I am running 4" blocks and I dont have any axle wrap at all. Id run 3" or 4" blocks
