I have recently installed a 2.5" Level kit on my truck and am planning to add a 6" lift kit to it to get a total of 8.5" of lift. I have been reading and have found that some people say this can affect your cv angles and prematurely wear ball joints. I was wondering if anyone has this setup and could add pictures.

I was also considering taking off the level and using Bilstein 5100 shocks to make up for it. I really want to be able to clear 36x15.5 Claws.

Any information or pictures would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

 

Its really not a good Idea to stack strut spacers on Coilovers. The best option is a 8" lift kit from BDS(New full replacement Coilover), Rize (Spacer) , or Wicked Customs (Spacer or Custom Struts).

 

Thanks for the reply! I was looking at the BDS lift but was disappointed when it was only 6 inches of lift with a spacer itself. I really like the Rize lift but they're almost impossible to find now. Where can I buy the wicked customs lift? I haven't heard anything about it. Ill look into it more for sure

 

The BDS is a full 8" inches.... Its a completely new strut assembly. Early 2015 the BDS 8' Lift was re-engineered and uses a full replacement strut.

The Wicked Customs Lift is made by Wicked Customs in Florida.

 

i just went on BDS website and realized this. I really like the new design compared to the older. You have the BDS on your truck right? Where did you purchase it from? I saw how it looks on your Instagram and that truck is bad*** man!

 

Thanks! I ordered mine through Gordie's Speed Center in Yuma, Arizona. (Know the owners, awesome people).

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you end up getting it for?

 

Retails for a little less than $3,000... All I can say is I didn't pay that, I played less than that. My Dad works for Competition Cams and has friends all over the industry, over the last few years, a few of his friends have become my friends too. I have very privileged and blessed to have the connections that Ive developed over the last few years. I've never really had to pay full price for anything
