Lift questions/tire questions

[1990dtgl98]

Hey guys, reading through the lift thread, tons of info, but almost too much to digest.

 

Here's the deal. I'd like to lift my double cab. However I would like to be able to revert back to stock with no issues (so no cutting/welding for me),as I'd like to be able to transfer it if I get a Crew cab when I have kids down the road. Would the RC 2.5" lift/level be the highest I could go reliably? If not, what would be recommended?

 

Secondly. I do a 40 mile highway commute, and at least twice a month I do either a 3 hour round trip ride to visit family, or a 6 hour round trip ride to go boating. I'd like to find the quietest set of 33s to go with it (on 18" rims). Aggressive looking is nice, but I'm willing to sacrifice it for quietness and ride smoothness with all the highway miles I log. Any recommendations for a soft/quiet/smooth all terrain?

 

Thanks everyone!

If you want to "transfer" a leveling kit I think you are making the wrong choice. You don't really want to reuse stuff like that. Especially since it's so damn cheap to just buy another level. You'll spend more money paying someone to take it off.

 

I am just trying to understand how people have no idea what kind of set up to use for their situation. Come on man you have all sorts of threads to read through that literally have every bit of information.

 

If you want bigger tires but don't want road noice obviously a highway tire is your best bet. If you want some offroad capabilities then go with a AT. Then lastly if you want a aggressive tire and will be able to use it offroad. Then choose a MT.

 

This is to everyone that post questions like this. Start your statement with "i don't feel like searching what so ever tell me what to do". This generation you can literally type anything into Google and find your answer.

Kinda dick. But I'll bite.

 

Like I said, there's so many threads including a 150+ page one to go through, finding the max lift is like finding a needle in a haystack.

 

It's more to revert to stock if I sell, or have a warranty claim than anything else. Transfer was a bad term. I meant more along the lines of keeping tires when buying a new truck.

 

And I know the difference between tire types. I was more along the lines of, compared to the at2, ko2, etc, what is the quietest.

 

Glad your response was to type a post that took longer than just answering the question. You stay on that high horse!

But you'll bite? Sounds like a kinky fat boy to me.

Glad we have forum members like you!

 

Now... Can anyone offer some insight? Looking at noise levels of the common AT tires (k02, at2, coopers, etc.)

I have over 30,000 on my nitto Terra grapplers with I would guess ½ tread life left. My wife's impala has more road noise than my truck. I'm running a shitty 5" lift and 305/55/20's due to the -18 offset of my wheels. I would recommend a 2½" level, and all terrains, either nitto, or bfg ko's. Whatever you prefer.

Have you noticed any increase in road noise over the life of the tire? I was digging the toyos but heard they hum a lot more after about 10k miles. Was wondering you experienced anything with the nittos

Not at all. Rotate, and balance at every oil change.

Yeah sometimes dudes on here can be dicks, myself included at times but whatever. I had a 2" level and 305/55r20's toyo at 2 extremes on my truck and loved them. Minimal road noise good wear and even better looks. Probably the most aggressive all terrain out there. Personally I'd just wait and get the real lift you want when you get your new truck but if you need something to hold you over which is understandable, go with a level and 33's. I recently put on a BDS 4" coilover kit with 35" toyo rt's and it's absolutely amazing. So there's that. However, I did done research on ready lift and I'm pretty sure you can return your truck to stock with their 4" SST kit. But you can't run 35's like the BDS or zone kits
