Project update

It was a fun weekend at the shop test fitting multiple combinations of springs to achieve a lift large enough lift to fit the new tires.

The end result was a 5-inch lift over standard ride height.

Believe it or not the tires only measure out to 32.5s on the truck at 30 psi.

To fit the 33's we will have to trim but for now I'm going to live with it and see what real-world ill side effects occur.

We took it through this tiny little mud puddle and as you can see the truck behaves fine and even shows promise of a little bit of flex.

You'll notice on this little dirt hill the front comes down and absorbs the bump without any issues but the rear looks like it wants to bounce I think that the rear shocks need to be valved better to handle the extra height and soon weight.

Tires rub a little ;)
