Coilover level vs 4" lift


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am trying to decide between the Fox/King 2.5 coilovers or getting the 4.5" CST lift with coilovers.  My current set up is just a 3" level with Cognito uppers and I'm wanting to correct all the suspension angles.  I don't really off road much just the occasional fire road here and there.  My main concern is correcting the angles and the best ride possible.  Will the Fox/King coilovers give me the same angles as a standard level?  I know the CST lift keeps everything symmetrical.  I'd really like to just level my truck with the 2.5's, but if I have to lift it to correct everything then that's the route I'll go.

 

Here is a pic of my CV's with a 3" level, can anyone chime in and let me know how bad they look or they look OK?

I’m no help I’m just leveled on Billy’s. I can’t fit in my garage with a lift, I also struggle to load heavy items in lifted truck beds as I’m 5’8 haha. Your truck looks good, I’m sure someone will chime in soon enough to spend your money!

thanks, yeah I prefer the level look.  I just don't want any issues down the road.

Coil overs will present the same geometry problems as a level would. They're generally better, since there's some correction for the loss of up and /or down travel, but still gonna have the same angles at rest. 

 

While stationary, the only thing affecting suspension geometry is ride height (unless corrected by a full lift) regardless of how you got it.
