PRO lift options

Truck is at the shop. I measured from bottom of center cap on wheels to top of fender. 22” as it sits stock

Should have gotten a better before pic

 

Gotcha, can’t wait for after pics/measurements

 

Exciting times!! On the other forum Prolee had his VooDoo Pro with pics. Looks good.

 

looks good but needs spacers and bigger tires will set it off

 

How did you measure? My orp is 22.25 accurately measured and gave me 2.5" lift. Pros are .8" higher so your pro came with 2"? Just curious.
To accurate measure, go fender to bottom of the rim. Measure the diameter of your rim and divide x 2 and subtract half off the measurement. Example my 17" rim has a 18.5 diameter...half is 9.25.
Had an off-road expert tell me I was wrong and he claimed center is the only true way! I said your eyeballing center and the rim is a solid constant. Divide by 2 and that gives center. Took him 5 minutes then says yeah, your right

 

oh I ain’t doing all that lol. I’m just measuring for purposes of seeing how much height it adds in inches

 

If you watch westcott design video they measure from center cap to bottom of fender. There lift is giving you 2 inches in the front and 1.25 rear when they measure.

 

Not here but the other forum has alot of diehard center hub or die philosophy. Try to explain of so there's a better way to do it, they just won't accept it

 

CENTER OF HUB TO BOTTOM OF FENDER OR GTFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Alright picked up and drove 15 miles home. Gained 2” front and oddly got 1.5” rear. Ride quality: they are slightly stiffer than stock. Less nose dive and less body roll. Maybe they’ll settle a little, but I think it’s an improvement. Just driving it the truck feels taller (it is, duh!). Very happy with these springs.

 

Looks badass man!

Congrats!

 

Looks good bud!

 

Looks great!

 

Dam it’s look good!! You talk me into it. Did you alignment done same time?

 

I had it scheduled, but couldn’t notice any alignment issues while driving. Will give it a week and see

 

Sounds good dude!! You can definitely see the difference in the pics!!

 

I almost drove straight to discount tire to get bigger tires lol. that’ll really set it off

 

Just to ensure any future people who read this sees this, I want to avoid confusion.

Change the suspension (especially height, up or down, or UCAs, which is caster), then get an alignment. You might not see it, you might not feel it, but when you lift, the tie rods gather up, toeing in your suspension. It's sometimes not perceptible to the human eye, but you'll know in a few thousand miles when your tires are eaten up.

In other words, might look right, might feel right, but let the lasers figure it out if you like your tires

BTW, truck looks great!

 

Just got off the phone with Eibach. I ordered mine!!

 

For sure, I’m just not crazy worried about it since I’m about to get new tires. I’ll still do it this week though

 

Looking good!

It might be worth waiting a few days for things to settle anyway.

What size tires are you getting?

 

285/70/17 probably

 

Nice! That's going to look great! Yours is the color that made me decide to trade in the Taco. Looking forward to pics with 285's!

 

It made me trade in my perfectly fine tundra too! Lol

trying to decide between the new toyo’s or tried and true ridge grapplers

 

I'm pretty happy with the AT3's. I've heard good things about the Nittos as well. You probably can't lost either way.

 

Nice! What size are those? Are they quiet? Grapplers always been super quiet for me

 

285/70/17. they whine a bit at higher speeds. It seems to have quieted down after a few thousand miles. It's not obnoxious, but you do hear them a bit. They've been good to me off-road and on.

 

The Falkens are nice tire except I tried to run them on my Pro and issues with wheel shake bad between 50 and 60. Tried 3 different sets and no good. Put the Nitto’s back on and no issues. When I jump up to 285’s I think I will try the Nitto Grapplers.

 

I drove over a year, even leveled telling myself 265s look good(and they do) but. Once you get 285, you'll wonder why you waited. Had mine a few weeks now and wished I went 295
