Sierra: Combine Rancho 5100 + Ccm Leveling Kit?

[deancheshire]

Hello,

 

I have two questions that may seem simple to many of you, but it's because I don't fully understand how these lifts work.

 

So here are the questions:

1) If I were to COMBINE a CCM 2.5" leveling kit AND a Rancho 5100's (up to 1.75"), would that (theoretically at least) give me 4.0"-4.25" of lift in the front of my truck?

2) Do the Rancho 5100's give you any lift in the rear? I'd love to get another 1" or so so it won't "bulldog" when I add weight in the bed.

 

Thanks guys!!! Looking forward to your replies.

Do you mean Bilstein 5100? I don't know if you can physically fit both in, but I know you definately shouldn't do both. One or the other. anything over 2.5" without properly lowering everything else (differential, etc..) will cause major problems. And no, they won't give you any height in the rear, you'd need blocks or springs. Hope that clears it up a lttle.

if you put a shock in that will give lift then the spacer you will get even more lift. But as you raise your truck the angles change on the cvs and diff. thats why the lift kits drop the diff to keep the angles correct

Can you ? Yes. Should you? NO!
