if i did the rough country lift, do you think it would be better to go with a more offset wheel with 31s to deal with the rubbing on the frame with the stock wheels. im trying to do as much as possible without trimming my fenders
#172
how much lift? it will help with your frame rubbing issue, but it may cause a the outside of your tire to rub the rear of the fender.
#173
Ok your right i do have a torsion bar. So I guess I got hosed on this budget lift. Well then is there any sort of suspension lift for around 500 bucks? Maybe like a 2 inch lift?
#174
what size tire are you trying to fit? you can buy the torsion bar lift keys off ebay and a rear add-a-leaf. That was the first was i lifted mine. The ride wasn't nearly as smooth as stock because the suspension had no down travel. A body lift will help as well and are pretty cheap.

SoI've now read this whole thread end to end twice and somehow still find myself asking questions. I know this threadi bombarded ith questions but I'm going to ask anyway haha. Will I run into any problems with the newer Rough Country 2.5" suspension lift kit? I see mixed opinions on RC kits as well so any opinions are greatly appreciated. The kit I've got my eye on comeswith upper control arms, ball joints, driver/passenger differential brackets, torsion bar keys, lifted shackles, sway-bar relocation brackets and necessary hardware. I'm also planning a 2" body lift as well while doing or possibly before the suspension lift. Hoping to clear some 31x10.5" wrangler m/t's I have, is the body lift necessary for that? I don't think so but I see mixed opinions. You have all been so helpful so far and I'm glad I found a group of guys (maybe girls too?) that love these chevys as much as I do. Anything will be helpful and much appreciated

the 31x10.5 tires will fit on you truck with no lift on the stock wheels but rub the frame. If you want to run a wider or more offset wheel you will need to start lifting it, or start trimming the fenders. with a 4.5" total lift you can fit 33s with fender trimming.

I found a pro comp 3 in lift torsion keys and shackles will it change. Any thing like ride quality or effect cv angles

no tension on my leaf springs so I have a ton of travel on my suspension and its great I think it slams the tires down harder because they are louder but I don't mind I will let you know.if I have any problems

Okay maybe this has been answered already but I could only read up to page 10 but I have the 2.5 rough country suspension lift and do get a little rubbing when whipped all the way just on my rim on the front tires only drivers side as far as I van see is there a better rim I van get so I don't rub?
I also want to get a 2 inch body lift as well would I be able to fit 31x10.5 in tires
With both of the lifts and maybe the better rims.- I have the stock rims 2003 Chevy blazer ls
