Rough Country 3.5” Lift with UCAs and lifted Struts plus motofab


Recommended Posts

I’ve searched with no luck on this. 
 

I have a T1 Sierra SLT that I just added a 3.5 Rough Country lift to with UCAs and 3.5” lifted struts instead of the preload spacers cause my stock struts were wore out.  I’m about a quarter inch from clearing my tires. 
 

My question is can I add a motofab half inch level spacer under my strut?  Would a half inch mess with anything?  In hindsight I should have just gone with a 4” lift but I’m not willing to take what I have off and buy another lift at this point.

What’s the outcome if I do?  Would a half inch spacer on top be the same problem or be better?

Can you share any pictures?  Does that kit allow you to retain factory wheels?

 

You would be better to do the fender wheel support bracket delete and pull back the liner than push your suspension angles even further.  I would think the cv’s would have a hard time at 4”.

You can keep the factory wheels if you want. I went offset and it’s why I’m having clearance issues on the outside. It’s catching the ear where the mud flap bolts on. Only thing I can do is cut it...

You can push the tabs back some but yeah your about out of options. How’s is the ride with that kit?  It looks great.

 

Thanks.

I did a mini NorCal. It rides great though. My factory struts were worn out with 30k miles on them so anything rides good but. It’s comparable to my 2015 Tahoe that had factory 22s and Bridgestone alenzas. 
 

the truck has 4play 4P70s in 22x10 with -18 offset and 33x12.50 toyo AT3s.
