Thanks, I checked my rims and that are rated to 2830#. Should there be a pressure rating as well? Looking at the E ratings, am I correct to assume that my rims will not handle the E Range tires at 3420#?
I am also maxed out on the height already. The unit came with under slung axles and clearance (unloaded) is already less than the 3" recommended by Mor-Ryde. I would have to have new shackle and center pivot brackets welded to the frame.
Actually, it is better to add a sub frame than to add longer shackles or longer mounts. The increased length means higher stress on the welds.
If only 1-2" are needed, longer (heavy) mounts might be much simpler. Have seen this several times recently and all but 1 had cross-bracing between the frame rails to stiffen it up.
Another option for a small lift, would be blocks between the axle and springs.
