10" lift on ttb???

[ford1386]

i currently am running a skyjacker class 1 6" kit with the factory coil spacers i have a total of 7" of lift. i was wondering if it is possible to run an 8" skyjacker coil and full 2" spacer with the skyjacker extended radius arms???

You could go up to 8"... after that, you'll have camber issues. You need to be able to drop the Beam pivot points a little lower. I know some of the skyjacker kits have extra holes in the drop brackets that would accommodate the next size lift as well.

If you can indeed drop the beams more, you could run the 8" coils and the 2" spacer. At that point an Extreme drop pitman arm most likely won't work, and you'll need to make a steering setup similair to the one that superlift offers... At that point as well, even with extended rad arms, you may want to drop the arms 2" to fix caster issues.

This is going to be one of those things where you're going to need to tinker a bit to make it streetable.

Anything over 6" of lift on a TTB and you start having serious steering stability issues. Even with a 6" lift and a Superlift Superunner steering, you need to modify the Superunner steering to get it right.

I have a 93 explorer two door sport 5 speed .With 8 inch ranger lift and 1 3/4 coil spacers.And a modified super runner steering set up.I also have a 4 inch old trailmaster aluminium body lift.I am running 38.5's on 12 inch wide wheels.I have drove it over 45,000 miles and at 85 mph on the interstate.And only went through one set of wheel bearings.You will have to tinker with a few things to get it trouble free.Pm me if you want pictures or any details.

Sounds like a death trap.

Of course you never wore out any wheel bearings. I would guarantee you that if you ever wheeled it, you would have wheel bearing, ball joint, axle, and steering failure.

No death trap lots of miles trouble free.Wasn't built to wheel only to drive.I would never put more than 4 inches of lift on anything I wheel.Everyone has different likes and dislikes.It's what makes the world go round.

I vote prerunner fenders....lot more tire clearance and a lot less issues then jacking the suspension way up. Of course, I am a little biased....

If you need it to be taller, install a body lift.

10" lift and a TTB...

Your steering will be.....jacked.

Body lift or fender flares if you want bigger tires.

already have a body lift just want more, can i still use the plastic fender liners with prerunner fenders or cut out flares?

If you want more than 11" of lift, then you are insane. Your truck will be top heavy.

You can use part of them on prerunner fender's but you'll have to add to them. Someone with a set of cut out's can confirm, but I believe they cover the gap they create.

Here you can see how much extra room this particular set of prerunner fenders give over the stock wheel openings.

bump...

 

[fastpakr]

What are you bumping for? An answer that you like better, rather than the truth?

 

[BlackBII]

Maybe you want to re-direct your question? What exactly do you want?
