superlift question? need a serious answer.

[-spilly]

ok, so ive asked this question before but got nowhere with it, so im asking again hoping someone has done this or knows what the outcome will be.

i have seen a video on youtube where someone put 3"lift keys in their superlift and i believe lift shackles for the rear. the truck looked amazing (i believe running 35's w/ 3"bl) ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCaegBjv3ks the actual build starts at 6min and 17secc

what i am wanting to do is use lift keys to lift the front about 2 more inches and chevy belltech shackles for the rear. what issues may i be looking at by doing this? i still wanna run my 33's, i actually need more wheel well room to stop rubbing without cutting the body. please leave comments and opinions (especially if you have done this) thnx everyone.

You could simply crank your stock keys to achieve the same thing with the superlift kit.

you will not need keys to fit 33 all you need is a three inch body lift or the supperlift.

I currently have the 4" superlift kit, however I still rub to much in the rear to the point its tearing lugs off my tires. My truck sees allot of trails and I'm out almost every weekend, so I want an alternative other than trim fenders. 2" more up front and the bellteck shackles in rear for 1.75" would do me fine, I just don't know what problems I might run into and if there is any, what options do I have? Can parts be extended or beefed up?

hammer the body back out of the way dont just lift it because with a lift its still going to run into the body when it bottoms out, just move the body out of the way.

You can adjust the torsion bars along with the Superlift, but like always don't go too high or you lose the downtravel. If 33's are still rubbing with the Superlift kit I'd say get a body lift.

get wheels with a different offset to keep from rubbin

OP's truck appears to alreayd have 15x8 w/ approx 4" BS....he's about as good as he can be. If he's worried about tagging the body now, he'd HATE To have 15x10's....




What you can do to a stock truck, you can do to a Superlifted truck. Crank the bars, put in torsion keys(stupid idea), whatever....it's a stock suspension truck with a lift. His bars look pretty cranked as-is after the SL install.

Spilly....pull off your flares and trim that valence. Cure of all your issues.

07 ranger with 3' body lift

i am running a 3' body lift with 35's, I cranked the torsion bars and had no noticable differance with the ride and have absolutley no rubbing

 

[Fx4wannabe01]

You're post makes no sense to what this thread is about. Plus, yours is a pavement princess...thats why you can get away with 35's and 3" BL...you're suspension doesn't hardly move at all.

BAH HA owned. i am running the superlift 4 inch kit on my 2008 and running the same size tire with no problem's. on the rear i did trim a little of the flair off but not that much. seems to work fine for me.

I run 33x1250 on 15x8 wheels with a 3in BL with no rubbing
