How tall of a tire (285?) were you able to put up front by using these leveling shocks?

I guess that would depend on your vehicle. I have an 08 tahoe and we went up too a 275/60/20 and could probably go taller if needed.

I'm running 315/70/17 they are 35's. I used a -6 mm offset, I had to do some trimming but they fit great now.

Im running 285/70/17s on my truck they clear had to massage the mudflaps a bit with a heatgun tho

Right now I am running 305/55r20 Trail Grapplers on my truck, with aftermarket wheels. And I have no rub at all!!! Thats on a 08 GMC Sierra. So 285 should be good.

I didn't go bigger than the stock 275. I went with a more aggressive tread pattern but I probably could have gone up two more sizes with out any problems.

I don't know for certain, but I think that it pushed my front end up closer to the 2.25" measurement. I would like to add one thing to consider that I didn't think of before I installed them- they're advertised as a leveling kit and that's what they do very well. The problem is that once I leveled the truck, when I put any weight in the back it made the truck look dorky because the back sat lower than the front. I had to add some lift to the rear to make it look better-- and it does look good!

I just installed these in my 03 4runner. It raised the front about 2inch. They have different setting you can put them on. So you can have it at the stock setting or crank it up. I have mine on the highest setting. Have a mechanic install them if you choose the highest setting because you use the stock coil to go over these shocks and it was a pain trying to compress the compress with a spring compressor. These shocks are really nice and they are a bit softer than the fab tech shocks I installed in the back. Hope this helped.

They are 8.25" on a side. Works fine on our dual axle (if that is what you mean) but you could check; raising a wheel 2 blocks takes 16.5" inches per wheel; to raise it 3 blocks, add another 8.25" in length, per axle. If you mean dually wheels (4 tires per axle), you would need two parallel sets, as the blocks aren't wide enough to support both wheels. But maybe just the outside wheels gets you level enough?

29" from bolt to bolt. Remember that the shocks will need additional lengths. On mine I was able to install nut under the rubber grommets so it would give me additional length so shock was not fully extended. I now have about 1/4" movement for shocks

Yes, the helper springs raised the rear of my 2002 2wd Dakota about 3-4 inches when empty. I also have Monroe Overload shocks and when I load my 1000 lb camper the truck sits almost exactly level. I drove almost 12,000 miles on a trip around the country and everything worked great.

They are extreamly adjustable in height. I used it on a Honda civic factory shocks and lowered shocks. I'm pretty sure you can use this on just about any car as long as its not a huge truck. lol

No these are stock ride height; actually seem shorter since they cannot be compressed by hand like standard shocks

I have a 6.5 inch lift and I had to change out to the lift kits provided rear shocks.These bilstiens only lift the rear end maybe an 1 1/2 inches on there so i thnk they would limit height and could limit travel causing possible damage.Do what i did phone the manufacturer of your lift kit.

My car sat high but lowered some after breaking the new shocks in. I also have 20x10 inch wheels on the rear so the extra space helped.

I have these mounted on 285/70/17's. Not sure what the overall diameter of your tires are, but if your tire is wider than the 285/70/17's I would probably go up a size. The size chart on the the company website is pretty accurate. I would double check there first.

This shock will not actually lift your truck but it will accommodate a 2.5 inch lift if you go that route. The front coil over type Bilstein's are adjustable and work fantastic, they will provide anywhere from stock height to 2.5 inches of lift. I hope this has answered your question.

I'm not positive but I thought they're good up to 2" lift. I think they offer the same shock in a longer length for taller lift

I put them on my wife's 1500 and it raised it about 1". If your spring are sagging from age it might do the trick.

These are wheel spacers, nothing to do with a lift. on a JK you can put a 37 inch tire on with no lift, however you do need to do some cutting and trimming. Thank you!

Works great...with my set up.not sure what size tire your wanting to run...I would recommend a offset wheel rather than factory rims..factory wheels are 7 1/2" offset I bought 8 1/2" offset wheels for clearance on inside frame and better ride..I'm running 265/70/17 nittos I got almost 4" higher with lift and tires looks and handles awesome...

You could use standard 180mm trucks. I use 9 inch standard king pin trucks for a more crusie type ride. I use 76mm wheels with no risers. I doubt you can go bigger with out them.
