Does anybody run this setup and are there any drawbacks? Looking to just get a touch extra lift. Thinking the 1" spacer but let me know if you have a 2 or 2.5.

Anybody???????

 

[qdaddy]

anybody know what end links to get as well if I do this? most links are adjustable up to 3" lift and this would be a 4" lift so I'd like a up to 6" lift adjustable link or something.

DT Profab has end links for all different lift sizes. As far as the 1" spacer, I think you'll be pushing the limits of your track bar and steering angles, but you can do it. Any more than that, you'll need track bar drop, dropped pitman, bump stop drops, etc.

Curious as to why you want a little more lift...I was thinking about a 3" as well but feared i would want more.....I actually think the 4.5 lifts are perfect.

 

[qdaddy]

^ that is why i'm considering buying the Rough Country 5" kit for the same price haha

 

[Blaster227]

I assumed you had the Carli already. If you don't then I'm with you...that's basically why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Can't decide. So to do some evaluation, I just bought 35s tonight and I'll see how I like the stance.

 

[qdaddy]

The problem is that I pulled the trigger and bought it just haven't had time to install it. I have the coils, trac bar and bilsteins.

Well would you be interested in selling that Carli kit if you went with the Rough Country?

 

[qdaddy]

Depends on the offer.

I have been running Thuren 3" coils with a 1.5" spacer for about six months with no issues. I did add a drop pitman arm when I installed it. Also have Carli control arms, Carli torsion sway bar, steering box brace, Carli low mount steering stabilizer, Thuren adjustable trac bar and Thuren shocks. The front rides great, would eventually like to add Carli or DT Profab radius arms, full Deaver leafs and King shocks.

No bump steer with the drop pitman arm and no drop trackbar bracket?
Thanks

Nope, I have a Thuren adjustable trac bar and recentered the axle. The drag link and trac bar are almost parallel so no bump steer.

If you got the radius arms would you keep the spacer setup or switch to 6" springs and other upgrades?

The fact that you would want to run a rough country kit over a carli just shows what your about

 

[qdaddy]

No one has said anything bad about the rough country kit? Carli leveling coils are just like every other leveling coil...Now if we're talking shocks and leafs and arms and stuff yeah, but a coil is just as good as the rest of the leveling coils. Just name brand price vs. rancho or rcx or anything

Getting ready to do the Carli radius arms, springs, and king shocks. The current springs and Carli 4 link arms will be for sale soon if anyone is interested.

Do you actually think Carli coils are 'just like every other leveling coil' out there?

Not true at all. Different spring rates, coil heights, materials, heat treats ,etc. I can have a spring manufactured for $50 or $500 each from the same manufacturer. Do you think they will be of the same quality? When a company specs out a spring, or any component for that matter, they have a lot of choices that affect the cost to them of the end product. It works that way in every industry. This doesn't even include whether or not you want to r&d an actual great product,or just run a few numbers through a calculator and go with a generic number that will hold up the weight at the height you want to achieve.

Been running a Daystar 1" spacer with my Carli 3" coils & 37x12.50s for over a year.
As soon as the Laramie bumper gets switched out for an Addictive Desert Designs bumper, the spacers are gone.
Laramie bumper is way too pretty to be hacking chunks out of it.
