Buying my lift!!!

riptricket · **Posted:** Thu Jul 08, 2010 3:16 am

Okay so here is my idea... correct it as needed.
Front:
3 Conduits per side, new springs (no idea what to get) and that should do the front.

Rear:
Ranchos or OME (not sure which is best) and a couple pucks... I hear 2 is okay?

Please help. I really need a lift, well atleast upgrade my suspension b/c I am getting new tires in a couple of months and want to lift it before I get my new tires.

Thanks to all!!!

Bumpstops... you mean 2 hockey pucks literally? or could I use Daystar bumpstops?

Isolator is from stealership correct?

Rancho RSX17004 $62 each,$124 pair yes I can find them... or OME?

OME HD...I am starting to sound like a broken record, lol.

OME is a great shock. I have them on mine and I would have to say a huge portion of the people here have them too.

As for the hockey pucks, yes 2 per side should be fine. I have 1 on each side, held on with epoxy, lol. Mine need to be just a tad longer and I have the extra 2 just have been too lazy to put them on. :ROTFL:

riptricket · **Posted:** Thu Jul 08, 2010 5:25 pm

yes, I want the hds... just trying to figure out which ones they are on the sites... OME shocks would be fine, but I can't find them.

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jul 08, 2010 6:03 pm

Just look for OME 927s front
OME 948s for the rear
front shocks OME 130s rears you will want to get the OME 132Ls which are only available from AllJs or go with ones from Bilstein which fit the rear of a 99-04 Dakota pickup 4WD
the OME 132 are stock length

riptricket · **Posted:** Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:33 pm

are the 927s better than the 790s?
also, I really need the help... confused. I want the best, comparable to franky, but can't spend that much...
I know i'm a little annoying, but I just don't want to buy the wrong parts!

Thanks

tom, i noticed you suggested a 3 ring clevis with only 1 extra iso in the rear.... why not 2 extra in the rear with a 3 ring clevis.........??????

Does this sound like all that I need for the lift?

STINGN · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 2:32 am

you can go 3 conduit nuts right of the bat with the OME coils up from. go with the 790s if you are getting a bumper down the road. go with bilstein shocks front and back, just because rancho is hard to find now. and for the rear, get the rear hd coils and add 1 or two upper isos per side on the top from dealer. that should do it

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 7:53 am

"IF" you are going to install a bumper right away with a winch then go 790s if not then I would not.
Listen to people who have actually ran the 790s :wink:

I ran mine with 927s and ARB up front ( no winch) for over 100,000 miles. It settled about 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch over that time, which I just added some clevis and brought it back up. Ride was nothing short of fantastic, now with the ARB still no winch the 790s are a rougher ride for sure, good out on the road and on trails but way firmer.
I really think with no bumper don't use the 790s
If you want same as Frankenlift then go with OME 927s, that what they use to build them, and there are ways to get the same height as a Franky real easy

your butts going to be about 3/4 of an inch higher depending how it settles. I don't like that look personally but depends on what you like. You can always add one in 5 or ten minutes of time later down the road if you want

digglesworth · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 9:12 am

yeah i dont like that look either and was thinkin its just as easy to add or subtract one later.......

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 1:31 pm

Pretty much will do it :wink:

You can buy 4 hockey pucks for like 4 bucks, drill a hole through the center and bolt them on, ( will need to drill a hole through the lower spring perch as well, need some good bits

riptricket · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 1:41 pm

and I do need the teraflexs for the front right?

digglesworth · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 4:15 pm

yes. terraflex's are the way to go. popout your stock bumpstops and the terraflex's just pop right in like the stock ones came out...... if you keep your stock a-arms they wil do just the way they are but if you do decide to go with aftermarket a-arms(JBA'a), youll have to notch the bottom of those terraflex's to make sure you dont smash the grease fittings on the arms

infernicus · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 4:25 pm

Terraflex Front Bumpstops with notch cut out for Al's A-Arms.

digglesworth · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 4:27 pm

just like that. just did it to mine today as a matter of fact. :pepper:

riptricket · **Posted:** Sat Jul 10, 2010 3:00 am

i probably will not be getting als a-arms though...I think that I am all set for my lift with yalls help!
