Which Tough dog Lift for NM

Post by Lordtrunks »

Ok my buddy is buying an NM and I'm helping him out with the lift and all so far I've picked the 50mm lift but not sure if we should go with the medium or the heavy.

Its gonna have new front and rear bars built for it along with rock sliders
which makes me think go with the heavy and its gonna be wheeled hard and we wanna keep as much lift so the belly doesn't drag. Also gonna be fitting 33's to it

The only reason i can think to go with the medium is for a better ride but if the money is gonna be spent I want it to sit at 50mm of lift know what i'm saying?

What you guys think more of you guys wheeling the new trucks than over here.

I think medium is going to be fine and offer a better articulation.

I have medium front and heavy duty rear but if i was going to do it again i'd prefer medium to the rear to and i have a lwb.

Hd for the front can be justified only if you have a did, winch and bar.
Keep in mind that if the front sits too high you gonna have problems with the cv joints.

Finally the ToughDog give a slightly better lift than advertised.
Mine is at least 6cm.

I agree with vpaj, go the medium for artic and then if she droops fit coil spacers for a little more lift.
That said I dont know the tough dog kits

How much dough are you looking at LT?

I love the adjustable shocks so I think I am just going to be looking at new torsion bars and coils once I am working again this summer.

it depends on the weight you are carrying, ie have you got steel or ally bar, no bar winch etc

med is a reasonable kit for a standard type set up, but if you carry a lot of gear then go the heavy

can do any selection you want, also have a new supplier coming on board, they have a superior spring at similar cost
If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!
