Lift Kit Review/Pics Sticky

Alright guys. I want to make a pseudo-database of lift kit combinations. I am going to maintain this list for the time being with Pics, reviews and install notes. If you have a lifted truck, please PM or email me at bryce.eastlick@gmail.com with A SINGLE pic of your truck and include what lift combo you have as well as tire/wheel size and any sort of SHORT review or install notes that you may have. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR USERNAME IN THE TITLE LINE. That will allow people to contact you with further questions and I can lable your pics/reviews accordingly. I am going to continue to edit this original post with updates as I get them or find them (or have the time to seek them out).
Thanks guys! And hopefully this helps streamline some questions and searches.

Shots:
2012 QC 1500 Outdoorsman with only a 1.5" Auto Spring Level kit. It's the same type of level as Top Gunz Custom, and Hellbent Steel. I ordered 1.5" because the Outdoorsman sits .6" higher than other models due to different struts from the factory. My current height is 38" front and 39.5" rear.

2500 Crew Cabs

Wandell:
5 inch Rough Country lift. It is a "short arm" kit and the ride quality/performance is basically the same as stock. Most agree that the "long arm" kits ride better, but if all you want is added height the short arm kits are a great value. I'm running 355/60-20 (37x14.00) Nitto Terra Grapplers on 20x9 inch KMC XD Spys (with 4.5 inches of backspacing).

I think this is a great thread for everyone to use. I'll be throwing in 1.5" rear spacers to replace the 3/4" ones soon and I'll get you an updated picture. I could also give you a shot of my 09 with a 6" BDS and Bilsteins at 2.1" to add into the mix too

A similar thread for the lowered or stock height "street trucks" would be a great idea!

You can use the pics/info on my Power Wagon as well. I'm too tired to look it up, but if you run a search for "ICON edition" Power Wagon, something should pop up.
 
#10 ·
Hey BEsRaider, I have an issue with reading instructions. You can delete my post and take any info you desire. This is a great idea and I wish it was out there when I was doing all my research.

Hey, thanks for the support guys! I have a couple emails and PMs with pics to upload. I took this weekend to help some family out of town and I am getting caught up on my life still this week. Please be patient with me, and Ill have it taken care of in the next day or so.
 
#13 ·
Okay, I loaded BigHorn's. I am going to load Fast's and Nova's a little later. They each contributed 3 photos each, and I think will make a strong contribution to this thread, but it will take a little more time and frankly, I just lack the motivation at this moment. Check back later and this thread will probably grow by 50% or more with those two uploads!
 
#16 ·
Yeah, this thread is awesome, I could have really used this in the past. I got bigger rear spacers in so I'll get some pics soon and get you the info to update mine
 
#20 ·
ALRIGHT GUYS! I think this is completely up to date with all emails and PM's. Sorry for the delay, but life has been keeping my busy...and I haven't sat behind my computer long enough to do all of the uploads, especially for you dudes that sent me 3 or 4 phases!
Thanks again for the support, and let me know if there is anything I can do!
 
#26 ·
Awesome thread!
 
#27 ·
Hey, I appreciate ya! This has been fun for me, as I get to interact with a ton of users, see some cool trucks, and all I really do is babysit. Its really more about the support of all of the guys that sent me pictures!
 
#28 ·
I'll shoot you a pm with pics/specs of my 2011 1500 next week after my 6" RCX lift and 4.56s are installed.

My transformation has gone from:

1) stock
2) 2.5/.75 TGC level on 33s
3) 2.5 level on 35s on stockers w/ 2" wheel spacer and inner fender modification
4) 2.5 level on 35s on 20x10 -24
5) and soon to be "6 inch RCX w/ Bilsteins at 1.4 on 35s on 20x10 -24
 
#37 ·
I'm really curious to see the 35's and 20x10 on the 2.5 level...I've got wheels with the same specs, and the same level so I'm really interested to see how this looked.
 
#30 ·
Sweet thread. I thought someone was going to delete posts that were not lift pics? Either way, great going. Hopefully, I can contribute soon. I got my eye on a Kore Pre-Runner Series or the Icon Suspension System Stage 1 or 2.

Hey guys! I do believe that this thread is up to date with the messages/emails that I have received. I want to give a huge shout out to myoung84 for helping me update this from here out, because I will not be able to edit the original post. This thread is going to continue, so feel free to keep sending me messages as normal!
 
#33 ·
Great thread. I guess since chatter is permitted, I'll let you know that I'll be leveling my '12 in a few days. I custom ordered a 1.5" kit since the Outdoorsman sits stock .6" higher than other models. I didn't want too much CV angle, causing the death wobble, so the 1.5" kit will put me at the same height as other models on a 2.1" level. I'll email a photo and any tips after install.
