going from 2 inch to 3 inch lift!
Hey hows it going? I am wanting to take my two in tc leveling kit off and replace it with the tc 3 inch heres a pic of the lift! [Image: tuff.jpg]
but what I am wanting to is know is do you guys think there will be a noticeable difference in ride height with only one inch? alsoI know I am going to be going from a 2 inch spacer to a 3 inch spacer lift but do you think my ride might improve since the 3 inch kit has new control arms and a tracbar bracket?

RE: going from 2 inch to 3 inch lift!
The answer to both questions is no. If your gonna take your leveling kit out for anything I'd at least bump up to a 5'' lift.

I thought that was a 2'' body lift you had?? Not a 2'' leveling kit?

RE: going from 2 inch to 3 inch lift!
I have both the two inch leveling kit with a 2 inch aal and a two inch bodylift so I have 4 inchs all around! I should add that I am going to bump up to 35 really soon!

I dont think it will improve much at all. Your just going up 1 more inch up front and the control arms are pretty much the same length as stock or a tad longer.

I would save my money and get rid of the AAL. That is what is causing such a bad ride.

The ride is not bad but it could be better! I would go with a 5 inch kit but then I would be rolling on my 33s till I have money to regear! I think 7 inchs of lift would look really dumb on 33s! I was also thinking about going with the 3 inch rough country lift do to the fact that I could get rid of the spacer and have coils would that be a better Idiea!

Why not just buy the coils and take the spacer out? your stock arms will be fine for the time being.

RE: going from 2 inch to 3 inch lift!
If you are worried about the 7" looking funny with 33's, wait until you get the 35's and install the 5" then. My truck has 3" coils and 2" add-a-leaves and it sits fairly level. My CA's and trackbar are stock, but I do have shocks from a 5" on the front.
