FNG Checking in from upstate NY. 5.7L V88 VVT Etorque w/ beige & mountain leather interior. Purchased with 5000 miles on it in June 2023, I am finally looking to put a lift and some tires on er'.
Lift: currently looking at either a 2.5" or 3" lift with some combo of bilsteins and pucks or just dropping in an RC boxed 3.5" lift with UCA's/Struts etc.
Tires: TBD 18" wheels w/ TBD 35" tires.
I'm particularly focused on the 3" lift setup with some combo of bilsteins as it seems to be a more sound setup for not much more money vs. the 3.5 RC boxed lift. If anyone has gone this route already and can give me a specific idea of what i would need in the way of 5100/5160/6112 and associated hardware, that would be awesome. I dont pull anything at all at this point and the heaviest load this mostly pavement princess would see is a load of stone or firewood....maybe a whitetail deer or two during hunting season.
