2014+ Suspension Lifts

[Cclevelandsg]

Rough Country 3.5 inch suspension lift. Tires are 305/70r17 BF Goodrich Mud-terrains. Wheels are Dick Cepek 17x9 with -12 offset. Minimal rubbing under full lock.

Just got a question for all you lifted guys do you still have the problems that are described in the "Shake or vibration" thread in the problem section?

 

My Trail Grapplers hum like hell and vibrate the wheel around 40-50mph and sometimes while braking after i did the Zone 6.5" kit. It isn't as bad when the tires are cold and the psi is down. When they heat up on a hot day the issue kicks in. I am going to have them check my alignment again, but I already decided to move to the Open County ATs and have them on order.

That's weird youre having those issues with the trail grapplers because mine hum very little out of all the mud tires I've owed and no vibration what so ever and ride just like my stock tires did except at coming to a stop and going from a dead stop you can feel the knobs in the tires

It's got to be the alignment then unless there is something not right with the lift install. I didn't experience anything with them before the lift other than what you mentioned.

I had 295 60 20 on stock rims with the 2.5 level kit it did ru. On the inner wheel well I now have 7" lift with 35s

I still have my tires for sale

How much? Nittos?

[Onmytab]

Ya nitto terra grapplers 950, 9000 miles on them.

[Michael94]

How much lift would be needed to clear 20x12 -44 with 33x12.5 toyo mt? I know a 6 inch would clear it. Would a 4 inch do it ?

LOL @ $1,200 for a 4" lift with no shocks. For that kind of money, there's a shop here locally that will do a 6" lift WITH shocks for $1,299 INSTALLED. Or if one wanted to go with a less expensive alternative, just do a 2.5" level and a 1.5" body lift like I did and total cost is around $250.

They are high but not extreme. I paid more for a Camburg 2.5" level kit on my 2013. Also you don't need shocks with that kit since it relocates the hub; the other suspension components stay the same. It all depends on what you want, if you aren't looking for performance you can do the same with a level and body lift for 350$. He was mentioning BDS, this is cheaper than BDS. You buy the coilovers then you can get the 5" and have the best of both wprlds. You get what you pay for. Edited August 9, 2014 by CAtaylor

I was referring to rear shocks which the CTS kit does not include.

Yep, I completely jumped over that. You are correct on that one.
