Default Rovertym lift pictures

Well

I have my lift on.

I did put it on myself with a little help from a forklift from a Club member Friend. (JHmover) thanks

I measured it and it came to a 4" lift. The passenger side is at 3.7 so I'm going to add a D1 spring isolator to the pass side to level things out.

the truck tracks pretty good a little "floaty" but nothing major.

the rotoflex is fine for now.

I also bought the Rovertym Caster correction radius arms.

guest what I got them from a club member for only 115$

damn I am a lucky dude. My mother just ordered the Rovertracks rear trailing arms for my truck.

so my girl is one happy bitch and it shows.

Nice! Time for some bigger tires too!

Btw, before you add the spring isolator, give the springs a week or so to settle then measure again..

thanks

for shoes

I'm thinking either 285's or 255/85's with wheel spacers

I know the 255/85 are easier on the axles. but I would put spacers to have a wider stance.

for the springs will do Thanks

I don't know exactly which is easier on the axle.. the 285/75's are wider, but not as tall.. 255/85 are tall, but skinny.. so i'd think the fact that the 255/85 has to do slightly more rotations may affect driveline some what..

What size tires are those? That looks much taller then mine with 3" springs. But it could just be the tires. I know mine looked way different with the 245/70's after I put the 2" springs in.

My front is definitely lower then yours but I also have a heavy bumper and winch up front. Looks good though.

I'm still debating about 255 or 285's also for my next set of tires. If price was equal I would probably go with the 255's but since I can get 285's as retreads for about $75/each and the cheapest 255's I've found are $160 it's kind of a tough choice. Good thing I don't have to worry about it for a while yet.

They are the 265/75/16

after thinking about it. I'm going to stick in the 32" range.

next set will be on the DI steel wheels MT's either in the 265

or 235/85 with wheel spacers for a slightly wider stance.

actually it's the 3" lift but RTE springs lift more than what's advertised.

which is good because when the truck is loaded it sits right at the lift that is said.

yes they do fit D90's

Thank You!
