Got the 6112’s and 5100’s to level out the truck. 6112’s at top setting and still a very small amount of rake. Installed Black Rhino Chase wheels and Falken 285/65/18’s. Truck looks and feels amazing! Very happy.
Couple questions about lifts vs levels: On a lift, there is no real actual increase in wheel travel? Basically just moving the pivot point down to save the CV joints? Assuming a lift is done, can then go with high-quality coilovers to realize better than stock ride and handling, just with the advantage of maintaining stock geometry? And a level, that just pushes everything down a couple inches, or however much the level actually pushes down right? It looks like to me (just observing here) that levelers kinda want a lift, but don't want to pay for it or have the frame cut? And a true long-travel or mid-travel setup just utilizes greater arc concentric with the capability of the components but "wider" to effect a greater travel while maintaining the same geometric relationship with the differential (4wd) or midpoint equidistant from both lower A-arm, and upper control arm?
For best actual travel performance then the long travel setup with a $20k+ pricetag, or cosmetic approach the lift with really good coilovers etc. looking at around $10k give or take? With a level, no real increase in wheel travel, it just moves down a couple inches, with > 2.5" generally being accepted as detrimental and at that point a lift is preferred?
