im looking to lift my 03 tb ext 2wd just a bit and upgrade some parts. currently factory shocks and springs seem toast 190k on them not sure if or when they were ever changed. (2nd owner) My truck is overdue for some tlc so while im in there replacing things i figured why not make it less like a mini van. i tow a 20ft boat when i get time and run a steel carry all the rest of the time. looking to gain some clearance/capability for various off path boat ramps and grove/electrical roads. Mostly good old florida sugar sand.
planned upgrades.
lift: -Rough country level kit 2" front 3/4" rear
Front suspension: - Moog 81110 coil springs. which should replace the 886 factory springs. i have the 884's in mine.this
will be slightly stiffer ride and a "wheel lift" of.63" pre bull bar. i will be adding a bull bar to the front which will help compensate
for the wheel lift and stiffness a loss of ~.20"-.25" bringing me back to ~.43"-.38" respectively.
- Bilstein HD 24-103336
Rear suspension: - Tahoe rear coils part # 15234633 i hear they are stiff but i almost always have a carryall on the back
with rack ~ 75lbs empty
- Skyjacker shock n8030
Wheels: - 1.5" hub/wheelcentric 6x127 wheel spacer
- stock wheels
Tires: - Treadwright Warden At's 265/70r17 which measure Rim Width Range: 7-9" Tire Tread Width: 8.4” Section
Width: 11.4" Outer Tire Diameter:
31.7”
I know im way behind on the times but if there is ANYONE left out there to look me over and double check my numbers. I would appreciate any suggestions, im all ears! with all of this installed would you guys recommend the UCA flip & swap or is this not aggressive enough to warrant? When installing the tahoe springs do i need a different spring seat or are they direct swaps? Am i of sound mind thinking this complied list will work together? Will i require trimming on the fenders given the tire specs? current tires are p245/65r17 specifically 29.5" x 9"
