Whats a setup like this run? I like it because its not over the top. I have had 2 truck and never did anything with them. I'm studying for my next truck here. I'm going for a Blue Jeans King Ranch or Platinum Super Crew. I want a little extra show than a stock truck but not much more. How does this effect ride? And here in PA we get a hell of a lot of salt on the roads and it kills trucks. What happens when one of these lift parts goes. Am I going to be able to buy replacement parts. Please don't think I am ignorant. I just never owned a lifted truck. I have a 96 Mustang with a stroked carbed 351w. I'm a Mustang guy wanting to have a nice truck. Which leads me to another question. Potentially going to be pulling that Stang around. How does a lift effect towing.
Ride is great. I did fox 2.0 shocks in the back and they were a bit stiff in the beginning but I pulled a 7000 lb trailer around for a weekend and now it rides great. If you're worried about parts breaking i recommend you go BDS they have a "no bull****" return policy on products. This means if anything breaks they replace it. Good to find a good installer is well that sells BDS and backs them up. Pricing is different depending on who installs it. Go to the BDS website and those prices are what I got from the installer. $900 labor, plus lift plus tires.
It looks real nice, would like to know how tall it is now? I'm thinking about doing the same thing if it fits in the garage. Also what kind of money are we talking about?
Tire
Front
Roof to ground
Back
Garage 7' opening slight slope on drive. Plenty of room 3-4 inches coming in.
I've said it a bunch of times....4 inches is the perfect amount of lift. Gorgeous truck especially with the stock wheels.
Would you mind taking a measurement from the ground to one of your town hooks?
Agreed. Not only does it look great cosmetically, but it gives you all the clearance you need for virtually any wheel and tire combination you could use on a street legal truck. Additionally, a 4" lift is going to give you lift without making it impossible to park the truck in a garage, go through some drive throughs or enter parking structures.
Just got mine done Friday. Loving the factory look and newfound ground clearance! Went to the dunes in Utah over the weekend and tested her in the sand w/2 dirt bikes and a lot of gear onboard. Happy to report, this is a fine off-road set-up :-) 4" BDS non-coilover lift w/Fox 2.0 rear shocks. Rides a little stiffer than stock but that's likely due to the 285/65/20 BFG KO2's. Besides, it's a truck, not a Lincoln! :-)
Many thanks to the OP for helping me narrow it down to this setup!
