anyone more educated than I think that the 3inch and 35s will work?

 

OK..who the heck has the Skyjacker 3" kit installed? I seen it the other day. Im trying to find it again and have been searching for 2 days and cant find it. ANYONE????? I even posted in that thread and I still cant find it.

 

Ok I found it. JZ150 and SVTERIC both have the Skyjacker 3" lift.

 

looking at JZ150's truck i think that i could clear 35's with that lift no problem.... can't find pics of svteric's ride?

 

Here ya go, check this thread out.

He does say theres some problems with something hitting in this thread. He posted again later in a different thread that after an alignment all is good, and he has no other problems with it.

 

ya i think it is because he had his truck lowered and didn't align properly right away after the lift.... i think 35s will fit under there tho!

 

Im trying to find the measurements of this lift. I want to compare it to just the level kit. I want to put 33's on and nothing bigger. Im affraid if I go with this lift and 33's the wheels will look too small in the wheel wells.. Anyone have the height after this lift is installed. Maybe some better pictures of the side of the truck??

 

Depends what leveling kit. Im thinking its only going to raise the front about half of an inch. I really wouldn't do 35s on but I do think 33s would look perfect on this set-up because 33s look great on just a 2.5" leveling kit.

 

Thumper..your saying it will only raise it a 1/2 inch more than the 2.5 daystar?? If so , I dont think its gonna be worth spending close to $600 for the lift. I'll just go with my original plan and level the front and put the 33's on it. Like I said, I dont want 35's anyway.

How are you doing anyway? Hows the back? you getting around ok now?

 

Well it COULD raise the front more if their measuring like Rancho does. Im just guessing, the only reason Im going to get it is because it includes new coilovers and new rear shocks along with add-a-leaf so the ride would be a lot better off-road, Im hoping. I want to hear some feedback on what people who own the 3" Skyjacker.

Im getting around great, I've just got a real bad limp. I was at the DRs the other day for my foot and he said the swelling won't go down for a year and a half. So now Im getting used to everyone calling me Big Foot or Club Foot. Life goes on though.

 

after looking at powerage and porkchop's trucks i am going to go ahead and try to get the 35s on with the 3inch skyjacker lift. i am positive that if it works for them i wont have a problem. give me about 2 weeks... shipping to alaska is GHEY!! and i will have pics

 

What wheels are you going to get?

 

Thumper, 1 1/2 years for the swelling to go down? I had a compound break in my femur, ankle broken in three places and a shattered heal that required a bone graft and I was walking again in three months, with most swelling gone. I overjumped on a rhytym section of doubles and triples about four years ago. I always thought the big tabletops were pretty safe until I heard your story, ouch. ankle still bothers me at times, hope your back heals up good. I'm real interested in the Skyjacker struts too, but would rather go with blocks in the back to keep the ride smoother.

 

I hope someone gets this and writes a review before 6 months is up, Im on a stop for spending money on my truck for 6 months.
