The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

[LoudnLifted88]

I'm not buying a kit but why I keep saying 2" is if i crank a little more I want to know if I should buy the 2" or just stick to the normal sized cranked or not cranked

my new stock shocks are maxed out with 2.5 inches of crank and i acually ripped a new schock apart because it wasnt long enough its about 25 bucks more apieace for the rough country 2 icnh lift shocks from advance auto you looking between 80-100 for front schocks if i remember right

Well I don't plan on cranking more that 1/2" more out of them and right now they look like this

I just don't want to ruin my shocks like that either so I'm trying to find the best option

I'm no expert, but I wouldn't crank that anymore....

Well I haven't cranked them whatsoever since I've had it and the previous owner cranked it level but I almost have the entire bolt out of the torsion keys.

Hey guys! So here is the stupid question of the day,

I bought a rolling chassis for my pick up.
Its from a 96 1500 ext cab 4x4

right now the frame has a 6" RCD Lift installed on it with 35's has the trans and t case with the shafts all ready to go.
Im going to be doing a cab and motor swap from my 2 wheel.

Only questin was I dont want to run a huge body lift, maybe an inch

Is ther any way to run another lift as well? I noticed that RCX makes a small2-3 inch with control arms and keys.

Would it be possible to run that lift with the RCD for a possible 7-9" of suspension? or does anone know of anything else?
all else fails ill just run with the body lift and RCD

This may be retarded but eveything else ive ever lifted I just did an SAS.

Cheers!

thanks guys!

Lol I would, but I got the frame with the RCD lift and arb air lockers and rebuilt trans pretty much for just helping out a buddy, so when it just fell in my lap I figured I'd run with it lol.

if thats the case apparently your torsion keys are not the stock ones.. I had leveling keys in mine and the guy put my new lift on said the bolts were barely in.

how high would the bumper mesure with a 9 inch lift on 38s? its a 6+3 set up I wanna make sure I pass the legal requirements for NY...lately cops have been ***** around here looking for reasons to pull you over.

Cranking the keys to make the truck level, does this really put much strain on the front suspension/drivetrain? And what would be easier leveling keys or just cranking?
