Which suspension to get?

[wadewoody]

So I am looking to upgrade my suspension. Which do you recommend: Halolift, Kings, or Icon?

Kings are hard to come by and still unknown on actual lift, Icons don't net what most people want for lift but do work, the halolift gets you the lift you want for certain and has been used by several on here. There are several more that do work as well.

What are you after? How much lift? What’s your use case? If you give some more details on what you’re trying to accomplish the smart folks here can dial you in better.

Are you looking just looking to lift or lift and separate?

 

[wadewoody]

Well I kind of looked into it and decided on the mountain package from Halolift. I wanted to run 295/70/r18 in the KO2s but they are out of stock for the foreseeable future. Trying to determine if I can fit 35s on stock wheels with that suspension set up.

I see nothing wrong with anything except the KO2s, no offense meant but there are much better tires out there than those. I ran them for about 8yrs myself and just got tired of after about 20-25k having them start slipping on wet roads. Of course that's just my opinion.

I had the exact same experience with the KO2’s.

I am running a set of adjustable kings purchased through Accutune. You don't get as much lift as the icons (Accutune also really doesnt like you to mess with the height as they have a certain amount of preload they like to maintain) so you are left with a little rake. However, the ride really is much better than when I had stock suspension with a leveling kit. Much more stable on the road and offroad as well.

Which bed rack did you go with?

Which bed rack did you go with?

Its the Yakima Outpost HD. I had the Overhaul HD posts originally, but I don't need the height with my Skycamp Mini. I like this rack because you can leave the base mounts on the truck bed and just pop off the racks if you need to haul something taller. Only issue is the lead time on some of the accessories, but other than that I like it a lot.

Wow nice looking set up. Mind measuring center of hub to bottom of fender ?


I have 2” level in mine and not happy with CV angles when towing , does not look good empty either .

I am thinking 1.5” over stock is the sweet spot .

Nice truck

Sorry for the delay on this. its ~25" from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender.

Thank you! The wheels are Gramlights 57DR-X 18x9 +20. Tires are Falken Wildpeak ATIII in a 285/75/18. Didnt want to deal with trimming to fit the width of a 35". These are actually closer to 35" in diameter than an actual 35 though.
