Any suggestions or pics of leveling kits to get rid of the ugly rake, I'm running 285 70 17 on my classic 2s 17x9

 

Teraflex level kit on 285/70/17 Nitto TrailGrapplers

 

teraflex leveling kit here with Monroe reflex shocks and 285s here to. awesome combo...very cost effective and useable.

 

How many inches did u guys go?

 

If you are talking about spacers, you'll go up the spacer height. (a 1.5" spacer gives 1.5" lift).

If you are referring to coils, it will vary depending on the specific model, specific coil, and how much weight has been added. (Heavy bumpers and winch and armor and carrier and oversized tire will end with less height than bone stock.) The few leveling coil threads I glanced at seemed to indicate about 2" of lift, +/- a bit, from the 1.5" coils, but there are plenty of threads to search and read through for more info.

 

The teraflex leveling kit gives 2" up front and 1" in the rear, I gained a little more total lift front and rear but it works perfect. Best leveling kit out there as far as I am concerned.

 

Hows the ride?

 

Spacers should not effect ride. Now I added spacer leveling kit with higher rate of springs and replaced my sport shocks with rubi's. Love it! I am not running 285's just 255's for now. Should be no problem running 35's down the road. Everything I installed was purchased slightly used on forum. Very cheap.

 

spacers do NOT change the ride quality of any vehicle. I have no idea where that rumor started from. The only way they would change the ride characteristics of a vehicle is if they are installed inside the coil pack and not on top. I have had spacers in my last 4 vehicles as I like stock springs for sag resistance, and ride quality. NOt one has had any change in ride compared with stock.

Ride in my jeep with the level and Monroe shocks is awesome. 100% happy and recommended.
