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

I had air bags (overload/ helper bags) on my old 1/2-ton. Kept 5lbs in them when I was unloaded and 20 -30 lbs when I towed or hauled. Worked pretty good but even with 5lbs of air in them they stiffen the ride a bit.

Just got my TC 2.5 inch EZ kit installed (spring/block) with added 1 inch zero rate in the rear to center axle in the wheel opening.

Sorry if this makes all you short lift guys mad but if you look at my avatar ( haven't figured out how to down load pics from my phone) you will see my bone stock beet up 71 with 33-12.5 15 on 15x10 5.5 inch off set they clear with NO truble!!!! So I would say if you are only going to run 33 save your Selfe some mony! Daystar sells a 1.5 inch schakle and rough country sells a 1 inch block yes this will give you some rake but not enuf to notice and you will retain the smooth stock ride!!!!!

My tires had a ton of room even on the bump stops when stuffed. For a LWB that actually sees rough trails/rocks a suspension lift helps reduce high centering or rear bumper drag.

For dirt roads, shallow mud (minimal suspension cycling) or street queens stock springs are fine.

Let's be real mr Redroad a lwb with a 2.5 inch lift and 33' is not going to tackle a very rocky trail!! I have a 98 gmc 4 inch lift with 305's a 09 rubicon 4 dr with 3.5 inch lift and 315's! Your truck with 2.5 inch lift and 33's will drag and get hung up on pumpkins the same as my stock with 33's after all a 33 is a 33! You will have no more axle ground clearance the me!
