I know, I know. Tons of post about this, go read and research.

But I have, and everything I have read hasn't directly answered my questions.

Here is what I have, or will have
16" Wheels with 265/75r16s (immediate)
Atlantic British 2" extended braided brake lines (immediate)
Tom Woods or Great Basin front Drive shaft (within 1 month)
Terrafirma Front bumper TF009A (within 4 months)
Terrafirma Rear bumper (within 4 months)
RTE Rock Sliders with Square Nerf Bars (within 4 months)
Baja Rack BR-LRD2-EXP-1-0 (within 6 months)
Winch of some sort (within 6 months)

Will be 50-75% on road activity, but will be doing moderate to advanced trails. No rock climbing/crawling.

Doing the lift now to handle the 265/75r16s and new rims.

I was thinking of a 2" medium duty lift so that the truck will have a nicer ride on the road and not be so harsh. But it seems some opinions say that if your putting bumper and winch on you will lose much of the lift and cause issues with the 32" tires.

A 3" lift is ok, should I think of this if I plan on putting the other accessories on? I would like to not worry about other alignment issues.

Should I look at HD or Medium coils? Going to be driving 4 months without the other accessories. Will this be a issue?

What is the difference between the Terrafirma gold colored shocks that come with the Rovers North Plus two inch kit (TF230) and the Atlantic British kits that have silver colored shocks (TF203 or TF204)?

Last question, what other stuff do I need other than the coil and springs? Do I need any spacers, seats, shock towers, etc?

Ok, Flame me for asking then please answer. Don't want to order a bunch of stuff and get this wrong so it will be worth the it!

 

You might have thought about this too long. Your truck is going to ride like a wagon on concrete wheels no matter what lift/shocks you install. BUT. I would spend money on quality coils (OME/RTE) and go with 3" of lift. 2" is a waste of time and you get 3" for the same money.

 

Says the guy with a RTE 2" lift. Just Kidding!

From what I can see, Terrafirma doesn't have 3" springs. RTE does, but they are only Heavy Duty and may be too harsh.

Terrafirma says their springs are +2", so do you think that is good enough.

Right now really leaning towards the TF259 kit, which is the +2" Medium Springs with the Pro Sport +3" shocks!

 

Gotta update that signature! Just went to RTE 3". Probably should have added that to my narrative. Got $200 for the old ones, not bad.

 

You mean RTE 4.5"???

I am fully skidded/armored and still got like 4" from that kit

 

$200 for the old ones, that's sweet!

I might have to go with RTE's or OMEs.

I have been all over Terrafirma's website and according to the site, the don't make Pro Sport rear shocks and don't make a 3" lift as well

I noticed you used Terrafirma shocks with the RTE Coils. Did you use the All terrain +2 or the Pro Sport +3? Which shocks did you use for the rear?

 

TF133/TF134 are the 3" shocks


The 3" lift is "made up" by lucky 8, basically it's the TF230 HD 2" lift that most people get 3" from.

 

Thanks, I am figuring that out by looking at other sites. If you lookon TerraFirma's site, it will list the 133 and 134s as Front Shocks.

Are the Pro Sports that much better thand the +2 All Terrains?

If so, I need to find a US supplier that sell the TF259 or TF250 kit, or I am going to have to piece it togther.

Do you think the Terrafirma Heavy shocks are as harsh as the OME heavy shocks without equipment on them?

 

While you're at it can you please update your avatar?


'said no man ever'...

 

shocks don't do much for stiffness


Pro sports are definitely better than the all terrains, way better
