ReadyLift SST 3.5" Kit
#11
For those asking the Pics of the Tie Rods, CV, Geometry and angles here are a couple pics I took of the front driver's side suspension. Sorry It took so long was a hectic week at work.

I got the wheels from the local shop who does all the lifts and levels for the dealership my wife works at. While I was shopping around and trying to find the wheels I liked the most I found them at Custom Wheel Offsets website for like $700 for all 4 wheels.

I wonder how the angles compare to say a 2.5" level. I know the only angle the replacement UCA would fix would be the upper ball joint. But you till have the cv shaft, tie rods and lower ball joint to worry about

Looks good but I would say 2.5 is about the limit without having to worry about lowering the front diff to keep cv angles somewhat in check. That's just too much of a angle.

Looks good, but those angles look outrageous!
Have you had it in 4H or 4A and laid into the throttle yet? Any noises? Have you tried it in 4L with any appreciable load on it? My front end had a hum and sometimes a roar under load in 4WD when I had it adjusted for 3" of lift. Noise disappeared when I reduced the lift to 2-1/2".
This is mine with just a hair under 2-1/2" of lift. Not the greatest picture I know:

This is what 2-1/2" of lift in the front and 1-3/4" in the rear (3" axle block) looks like on my truck with BFG 285/65R20 KO2's.

Anyone know if the 3.5" SST lift for a 2WD would fit/look right with 285/65r20 bfg K02's?
And dont know much about cv angles and all that, but what kind of problems would they present? I rarely push my truck or drive off road. mostly just commuter miles..
thanks
