Lift/Leveling kits

[Synyster06Gates]

@Synyster06Gates Would you have a picture of the top 3 studs/nuts after installation. In looking at my truck it does not seem like the studs are long enough to space 1” and still get the nuts on.

thank you again!

Keep in mind, the spacers are only half an inch. They're JUST long enough that you can re use them and have the top of the stud come through.

@Synyster06Gates Thank you ! You solved the mystery for me. I thought it was 1” thick since it raises the truck 1” . Thank you

I also thought about leveling the truck out, but this thing just rides so nice I'm not going to mess with it. Plus the nose down stance kinda follows the prerunner style of truck imo

I thought I would take a chance and install some global (UK Wildtrack model) rear springs, they are multi leaf and are very different than the Tremor multi leaf, it only lowered the back 1/2 inch, (1 inch at the tailgate) I am going to try and compare the ride difference, so far the UK springs seem softer, it's hard to tell.
The UK springs are about a 1-2mm thinner and the lower leafs are much longer, it changed the rear driveshaft angle from 0.8 to 0.4 degrees.
I did remove the bottom shorter leaf.
I was really hoping it would lower the back more as I have a heavy ebike and a bad back.
Now I have to decide which pair I send out for de-arching, I think I will send the UK springs and keep the Tremors untouched.
These springs might also be a driveline vibration cure as the global Rangers don't seem to complain about vibration like the US models, dunno, mine does not vibrate.
Notice how long all the lower leafs are, it really would limit axle wrap up, but does it hurt suspension travel, I guess maybe yes.
Best I can tell the initial rate may be higher but further in the travel the rate seems softer, I base this on how the axle responded during being jacked up, at first the axle was low on the UK spring side during the first 4-5" of upward travel, then as it got to where the truck was about to come off the jackstands it was higher than the stock spring side, does any of this make sense?
Also notice how curved the bottom leaf is on the UK springs, the Tremor spring is the close one in the pic.
And in case anybody wants a set they are cheap https://www.ebay.com/itm/114729135896 the kicker is the global shipping program through ebay is so cheap, it was $28 USD for shipping each!!!!!! and they showed in a week!!!!

I had a local shop do the install for me. $150 for the install and $75 for an alignment. I like the results.

I’ll post before and after measurements shortly

 

[Poky]

Before: front - 37 1/4”
Before: rear - 39 1/8”

After: front - 38”
After: rear - 38 3/4”

Not sure where the 3/8” went but I like the look.

I am planning on getting a small 1 inch level for the front of mine when it comes in, however the lack of threads on the top of the strut mount bolts is kind of worrying. The teflon portion of the nut doesn't appear to even be touching the threads, so im curious if they will come loose as time goes on.

Do they not offer different studs to put in place of the old ones, or is there no other bolt ons that come with studs in the spacer?

Had the 1” Traxx kit installed yesterday. Makes the Tremor perfectly level . Exact wheel well to ground height across all four tires. My initial thoughts: Noticeable improvement in look; Ball joint sitting fine; Ride is pretty much same. Pictures don’t really do the change justice but I find the truck looks much more rugged. Due to time had the stealer. Install it but they said it was straight forward no issues.

If you don't mind, can you take a closer picture of the top of strut mount threads?

The spacer is not long enough to have studs in the spacer. The only option would be to remove them from the Fox coil over and press in new ones. Something that most would not be able or willing to do.

Honestly, looks safe, plenty of thread left.

These are the 1” spacers from Robby at RangerLifts.

Robby at Ranger Lifts stresses to use thread locker on the nuts

3in readylift with 1in rear block. Readylift has options that come with the upper control arm set up for around $650. I think I might get the rear block removed soon.

For sure, good recommendation no doubt.

I saw a post somewhere on the site of a person that bought the Traxda kit but only installed one of the plates, for half the lift. They were worried about the amount of threads showing as well.
