325/65 18 Dune Grappler LIFT ??

BoKat96 · January 12, 2014

Got a great deal on a set of these 325/65/18 and just bought a 14 Z71 Crew, question is how much lift do I need and what wheel offset?

I would love to just go with the performance accessories 5" kit part # pls117.

What do you guys think?

They measure to a 34.6" tall and 12.8" wide. You might be able to fit them on the 5" rough country kit with the right offset. You fit them for sure with a 7" full throttle suspension. Don't run the 7" RCX . I'm just giving u brands I had personal experience with. Any questions PM me.

That kit you listed wouldn't be a very good idea. It's a body lift combined with a leveling kit. A suspension lift with a full diff drop is the way to go.

By the RC 5" are you referring to the 4.75" kit with diff drop and 1.25" body combined with 3.5" suspension?

thanks for the help trying not to go higher than needed, may just send'em back if too big of a pain

That 4.75" isn't a great kit. It's basically a bonified leveling kit with a body lift. A 5" kit really isn't that big, they recommend a 33-12.5 with it. And it will keep your front end angles close to factory which means a smooth ride and no worries about premature wear of ball joints, tierods, cv axle, ect... And by front end angles I mean lower control arms, upper control arms, cv axles, ball joint, tierod. By keeping those flat you getting a great ride and no added stress that could cause premature wear. I have a 2.5" lift/level on my 2014 now and will most likely be switching to the 5" kit come spring. These trucks sit pretty low stock.
