Tuff country 14159 Lift Kit Ordered!

n77nxc · December 12, 2016

I was wondering if the owner of that truck was on this forum. I park in the same garage. I checked it out on a couple of occasions to figure out what lift you were running. Its a good looking truck.

Don't do it. I had it on for 3 days. Angles will make you shudder. And the stock midnight 18s will rub the uca.

Why all the problems?

The ride feels the same as factory. I was surprised as my previous truck (ram) had a leveling kit and It felt like a wheel barrel.

I will post pics of the control arm angle and axle angles tonight!

Would love to see pictures of the CV angles. Please post some pictures.

Hey All,

I have an update for you all! Still running like a champ. I do not know what people are talking about. The Truck rides just like it did factory.. I got some Bora Wheel spacers (Hub Centric) as the front tires rubbed a little on the top UCA. And I also wanted the wider stance.

Truck is going great and Aligned no issue. no popping or crunchy sounds. Ready to get Some Boost or Cam in this engine!

N77, Shoot me an IM! I can meet you in the Parking garage to show you the truck if you would like!

I will shoot some more pics of the truck tomorrow as Its going to be 80 degree's out....

Still waiting on those pictures of the CV angles. Pretty please!!!

Also, a question, in the process of installing the strut spacer on top of the strut, does it just bolt on and then you reinstall the strut like normal.Or before you install the spacer does the strut need to be disassembled or unloaded for any reason?

Thank you

I have not been able to get under the truck yet. The strut spacer are easy to install. you remove the strut assembly, bolt on the spacer and then just put it back in. no unloading or disassembly required. Once i get home before its night, I will snap a pic!

Sorry All I have been busy with the holidays and what nots. The truck is running great, no popping or stiffness on the suspension. I am looking to put some 285/75/R18 Toyo RT's on to compliment the lift. I will shoot some pics of the truck and CV angles and what not this weekend!
