im looking at lifts for my 07 OR X. i found a 2.5-3.0 inch lift from automotive customizers. is there any of you running a lift from them? any feedback would be great!!!! thanks, joe

Joe, which one you lookin' at? I currently have AC's front springs and rear shackles (c/o mtdewmike) as well as the deaver mini-pack from PRG. I have full shrockworks armor including bumpers. If I didn't have the added weight of the front bumper, then the AC lift would be extremely stiff.

My suggestion is that if you're starting with a semi-stock X, start with the Deaver mini-pack along with PRG shackles in the rear, then for the front run spacers until you can afford PRG upper control arms with radflo coilovers. They are by far the best that's out there right now.

My truck has shrocks skids sliders front bumper winch kc daylighters. here is the add for AC is $1200.00 a good price? Competition Suspension Package With Bilstein Rear Shocks

2.5" lift is optimum for great ride quality.
Spring rate is increased marginally which keeps the ride quality comfortable

Hey another question , do you have any weird vibrations from your lift??? whats your name by the way?

My name is Bobby.

No vibrations. Up front I am running AC coils on my stock shocks until I can afford some upgraded coilovers and upper control arms from PRG. Out back, I'm running AC Shackles with a Deaver mini-pack from PRG, along with extended bilsteins from PRG. I also have the extended stainless rear brake lines from AC. I am sitting at 2.5" of lift in the front and 4" out back.

I don't know of anyone running the competition package, but it seems to include everything you need. The suspension that I have so far, I'm probably in around $800 and I don't have a very good set-up in the front. $1200 doesn't seem all that bad. If you decide to go this route, definately let us know how it goes.

Bobby , Thanks for the info! I looked around and for the money I think it might be the right package for me. With 4 inch in the rear and 2.5 in front does your truck sit level? What size tires are you running with that size lift? I saw AC has the coil overs made spec for 05 and up. They are custom built and bolt right in with no fab.(so they say) I think you can get them for $650.00 on there site. When I get this lift I will definately let you know. Joe

I have some rake, but it isn't too bad. I'm currently running 31's as that's what I had before upgrading my lift; but I will be going to 295/75-16's sometime this spring.

thanks for the feed back bobby are you going to ecxc this year

I'll be there
