My plans are to do a 4.5 Zone Lift keeping my Bilstein 5100's in front and back. I currently have rear air bags which I plan on keeping as well I just have to fab up a rear spacer. For wheels I plan on keeping my factory 22's and running 285/55R22 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I spoke with Zone about how much wider the front wheels will stick out and they said 1.85" so I will run rear spacers to keep front and back tracking even.

 

Has anyone done a lift and kept air bags out back? I would be interested in hear how you did it.

 

Thanks.

I have almost the same set up.

 

I have a Zone 4.5, w pro comp shocks ( ordered Bilstein but where back ordered forever) and I have Firestone airbags in the rear. wheels are Black Rhino Sierra 18x9 12 offset and General Grappers 35x12.5x18. They did get a spacer for the airbags, but I did get to keep them. I hate sagging when I tow. I keep about 20psi at all time to help smooth out the ride, and it does give a very little rake.

 

Hope that helps.

anyone running the rough country 3.5" suspension lift? any issues with ride quality with the 3 inch block in the rear?

Before I did my lift, I was running The RC 2.5 and 3" blocks. No issues. Just a slight rake.

[TBaganATX]

How is the ride/noise with the Generals and or the air bags? I wasn't planning bags, but I do like the look of a little rake.

Now that I have had them on a bit, the tire noise has increased.

 

 

This is one of my toys. I completely rebuilt and it has 35's and it is actually alot more quite than my truck. Could be I have dynamat in the roof, doors, and floor. But the Grabbers have picked up some noise...

I've got -24 mm offset as well and love the look! It's pretty funny driving in the rain and seeing water shoot up vertically in front of your mirrors.

This kit you're running is $3500, so do you plan on off-roading an Mudding or is it just for looks cuz that's super high.

I got a super sweet deal on my kit and got it installed for about the price you mentioned. I dont frequently go offroading and I never go mudding. But I installed the lift for when I go shooting, hunting, fishing or just goofing around. Plus it does look cool as hell and it rides better than factory with the coil overs.

2014 Silverado 1500 with 7 inch rough country lift. 20x12 -44 fuel hostage with toyo mt 35x12.5r20. Ignore the dirt and salt, haven't had a chance to wash it.

 

 

Does anyone have any example pictures on how they trimmed their wheel wells on the cab? Only examples I can find are on older truck that don't have the extra plastic piece. Thanks
