so I have an 08 4.7L. I currently have a daystar 2" BB in with stock struts and shocks.. right after the winter, I would like to upgrade my shocks and struts.. I've thought about it and I know the OME is best for the lift, but I dont do serious crawling or anything.. just minor trails and I dont have the cash to drop on it. SO, I've decided on either Bilsteins all around or Bilsteins up front and MLL 643s in the rear is the best way for me to go.
I really need help deciding, input on performance and stance pics would be extremely helpful. I want to do the MLLs in the rear bc the extra lift is nice... but here is my main concerns.. 1. I dont tow (even though i have a "tow/haul" button on my dash.. I dont have a bumper with a tow hitch..its how its came..confused about that) but I digress, 2. I love the lift you get from them but im currently at 21" all around and I dont want to end up with too much rake.
I know some people who also run a 4.7L such as Jrevnick run the Mlls with thier 2" BB and they look level, which is awesome ( i dont know if his being "rocky mountain edition" has anything to do with it).. and I know it varies bc of each WKs suspension being a little different in terms of wear.. hence why others can sometimes get 1" of rake with them (which I dislike)... I know the Bilsteins up front will boost me a little but will it be enough to compensate for the MLLs?? do you think I'll be pretty close to even looking.. will the Bilsteins all around make the rear look saggy? I keep a few things in my trunk at all times.. nothing real heavy but theres stuff in there..(some ropes.. box of car related odds n ends, a tent, a sleeping bad, a camping hammock). but like I mentioned.. I don't tow ever.
I would like to be 22" all around ideally.. a quarter inch of rake wont kill me though.
please help me decide
