2” fully lifted kit

[t3lcfe]

Thanks for the links I'll inquire with them.

I'm not too worried about the rear it will be 1.6-2" max.

The front after the bumper and winch will probably be around 2.75" with a 3" lift or may still be at 3" since I went with a slightly heavier spring for the additional weight, won't know until I can install.

I'm not going bigger than my current 255/80R17 ~33.5" just need as much ground clearance in the front as possible with that tire.

I had:
2” lifted rear with Dobinsons springs (heavy spring that accommodate 170-330lb of extra gears)
2.75” lifted front to level with rear. At front, it added 80lb more (+ DV8 steel bumper + 12k lb winch - OEM aluminum crash guard)

Beside Dobinsons rear springs, the rest of lift kit is TC uca + Kings shock set

@t3lcfe - What install shop did you use? I'm also in Orange County and about to do a full suspension upgrade.

After installing Frontrunner Drawer system + fridge slider in the trunk, and steel front bumper+1.2K lbs winch in the front, I decided to do “fully lifted” for the LC. I now got 2” lifted rear (actually 1.75” because of 125 lbs drawer system) and leveled the front to the rear.

The lift kit: TC (Total Chaos) upper control arm + 2.5” dia adjustable King shocks, and Dobinsons 2” lift springs (rear, 170-330 lbs constantly additional weight)

Currently I have 33” KO3 (275/70R18), and the run is great. Very happy with this upgrade for my off-road and on road use. I probably have 35” tires soon to gain 1” more clearance.

Note: (I still have 3” clear to my garage opening to accommodate 35” tire

What Frontrunner drawers did you install?

And my custom-made removable side panels to perfect fit/fill the spaces between drawers system and trunk. Check out my old post

New guy here, just learning the ropes. That LC is the prettiest thing I’ve seen today (and Im back from Fri happy hour full of coeds!). Don’t want to beat a dead horse, but other than some potential increased weight, why would the lift mod be a negative re mpg? I guess there’s more air drag? Or is it all the other goodies that are the culprit? Thanks.

Anyone happen to know what the yellow circled item is? Looks like a clamp on side step for the OEM sliders???

That's the custom made step on @t3lcfe's ride. While those are one offs, if you are looking for clamp on steps for the OEM rock rails you can look at the ones from Z-overland . I got them and would recommend them. That said they could be made better if they where 1" wider and a couple inches longer.

Those z-overland ones look nice! Do you only get 2 per order?

Yes, two per order so you need to order two if you want the full set of four

Blast. They only have one left lol… I wonder if there are cheaper options.

 

[Alpha Puppy]

I'm sure they'll build more....

As far as I'm aware, Z-Overland is the only off the shelf option currently available for the OEM rock rails.
