Does anybody have any experience with this or these kind of lifts? I'm curious what the downsides would be, I know I won't gain any additional ground clearance but I've also heard that with the rough country and the super lift suspension lift kits, I don't gain any clearance either because the driveshaft hangs low.

Need some help. I have a 2016 Ram 1500 with a 4” RC lift and just replaced the struts with Fox 2.5 coilovers. As you can see in the picture, the hose to the reservoir is rubbing on the sway bar. The kit I have came with extended end links. I was wondering if I just get a drop bracket for the sway bar and go back to factory size links will fix the issue and have enough room for the hose to not rub on anything. Right now I have the hose zip tied pulling away from the sway bar as the temporary fix so I don’t cut or rub a hole in the hose. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

It started life as a brodozer now I'm turning it into my overlanding rig. I'm going to lower it down quite a bit now that I've decided the tire size I'm going to run and start out fitting it. When I got it, it had 24s and 37s, I sold them and bought these method wheels and a second hand set of 37 bfgs. Due to my remarkable ability to pick up every nail on the roadway in the county I was kind of forced into buying a new set of tires, when these 38x13.50 r17 Milestar Patagonia mt02s because they were in my price range and available. Somehow they're 3 in bigger than the 37-in bfgs. Now it needs to be re-geared I need to get my front & rear lockers put in get it lowered probably 3 to 4 in and start out fitting the bed.

I'm looking at lifting my 1972 GMC C15 2WD a few inches. It has the factory coil-spring trailing-arm rear suspension and independent front suspension.

I'm thinking around a 4" suspension lift with 35x12.50R15s on 15x8 Mickey Thompson Classic III wheels.

I've found lots of information on lifted K10/K15s, but there doesn't seem to be much out there for the coil-spring C15s.

I'd love to see any pictures of your lifted C10/C15s and hear what suspension setup you went with. Any advice or things you'd do differently would be greatly appreciated.

I know... this probably goes against the cardinal rule... 4x4s go up, 2WDs go down.

Thanks!!!

For context, I'm looking at a 2013 Tundra CrewMax 4x4 (5.7L) with 181k miles. Seller wants it for $19.5k and I was able to negotiate down to $16.5k. It's got a 6-inch Rough Country lift kit with mud terrain 35s. Seller is the 4th owner and has no clue when the lift kit was installed but mentioned that shocks and brake pads have just been replaced prior to him buying it a year ago. I'm cautious about buying a lifted truck and I’m worried about its long-term reliability and hidden maintenance costs. I’m going to schedule for a PPI.

The maintenance history is exceptional per Carfax. The vehicle has received regular oil changes, tire rotations, and scheduled inspections. Notable mechanical records include the replacement of the water pump, water pump gasket, and a cooling system flush in early 2022. But it doesn’t show any history of any suspension work.

For those with experience on high-mileage lifted trucks, what are the specific "red flags" I should look for during a pre-purchase inspection? Is a truck with this setup and these miles generally considered a bad daily driver?

If not , what lift size lift would you recommend and I would like the throw on 35 inch tires preferably wides and some different rims, I have around a $3300 budget but don’t wanna spend it all on my truck

Happy Father’s Day! Lets get dirty and enjoy our day 🎣

I have recently bought my first vehicle and picked a 2000 ranger that needed a little love. I have now taken care of the big problems and would like to look at suspension as the current ride feel has me wanting for a little more while off road. I know it has bigger tires and a lift, i just don't know how much of a lift i need to compensate for.

Truck is about to go in for some paint work. If I want to put the flares back on I want to do some proper ppf. Any opinions on the no flares look? Ill fab up some kickback mudflaps if I decide to keep them off. Im not paying <$500 for some powdercoated aluminum.

My summer project coming along. Last pic for those who know.

6 inch lift on 37s

Rear shocks are 6 months old

Still a work in progress, got the light bars, fog lights and winch just haven’t installed them yet. 7” rough country lift on 37x12.50’s. Still got another two years before I can delete and tune but it’s definitely in the future.

Cannot seem to find any i fo from BDS regarding greasing lower ball joints. I have been able to successfully grease all other joints, but these I believe are flush fittings. I can see what appears to be a ball in a pinhead sized hole. I have tried my fitting for flush zerk’s and cannot get it to take grease

Trying to avoid using a needle through the boots. Also not sure how to remove this fitting.

Anyone have experience with the BDS kit or this type of zerk? Thanks.
