I didn't seem to get much of a lift out of it. Maybe an inch and 1/8. Is this going to be enough clearance to fit 31's? I ran the bolts all the way up but like I said I only got a little over a inch. Is it ok that the bolts are all the way tight (up)? The bottom of the fenders are about 34 inches from the ground.
Thanks.
 






Just did mine about 2 weeks ago. 1 1/8" should be fine for 31's. I got 1.5" on mine without maxing out the bolts, I set them to 1.5" to make the lift in the rear from the add-a-leaf. You may want to measure again after you ride around a few miles. When I first tightened my bars, I tightened all the way and measured just under 1.5" of lift. After I drove around about 3 miles and re-measured, I had to back them off quite a bit.
It's ok to have the bolts maxed, as longs as you don't lift more than 2", then you could stress the CV joints too much and start having problems there.


Hope this helps...good luck!!
 






Thanks Ru Dawg!

Could someone with 31's measure from the ground to the middle of the front fender to let me know your height. Thanks for the help. Right know, with stock tires I have 34", I just want to know if my future 31's will fit.


Also, if I were to go out and get longer bolts to get my lift closer to 2 inches, is there anything I should watch out for. Meaning, If I take the bolt out is my suspension going to fall all apart or should I be able to replace them easily?
 






Just wondering if anyone who's put bigger tires on also put bigger bumpstops on too? it seems that you would need them to prevent rubbing at max stuff.
