Re: Pics of your 2 inch ez ride tuff country lift? 67-72 k20 long box

This is a daily driven work and play truck that i use for hauling, towing, and playing in the back woods a bit.

2" TC EZ ride springs all around with an extra 1" lift block on the rear and top mounted overload springs. 255/85r16's are about 33x10.

Without the overloads the EZ rides sag very easy but they ride better than the HD's. It's kind of the sacrafice you'll have to deal with. Mine with the aftermarket overloads are not set too tight so i found a happy medium.

I tried the hydraulic shocks and they did not offer the support i wanted. Heavy gas shocks were very stiff and bouncy. I found the lightest gas shock i could and it's as good as i could get for the money i think.

I have cleared 35's (315/75r16) on 8" wide wheels but i do have the front buckets cut off. Im sure at full suspension articulation while turned the tires will contact the cups.
