Finally have decided to lift the Titan. I have a 2004 Titan 4wd currently with LT315-70R17 tires and Bilsteins 5100 front and rear.

When going with a lift, will the 5100's work with any of them?

When lifting it, will I be able to run any larger of a tire or should I stay with the 315's? A lot of info to go through.

Looks like I should be able to go with some lifted spindles, 2" spacer, and my 5100's set on the middle setting. I already have some rear blocks. Thinking they may be 3", I'll have to measure them.

Any input?

Thanks.

As far as my limited experience on suspensions goes you can't do spindles with 4WD. Gotta go bracket.

I found that out this afternoon while reading more.

Thanks.

and your tire size you can fit depends on just how high you want to go - any lift and you should really be able to fit 33's, 5" or more and 35s should fit

Currently running stock 04 rims with 5.5" backspacing. According to Rough Country, they won't fit with their lift. I really don't want to add to the cost of the lift kit excursion with new rims. Any of the lift kits allow the stock rims to be used?

That doesn't sound right. You should be able to use the stocks with pretty much any lift, as a lot of guys do that.

From the installation directions...... " For this application we recommend a 17” or larger wheel not to exceed 8” in width with a minimum backspacing of 4.5” to a maximum of 5” ". Stock Titan 2004 17" wheels have 5.5" back spacing.
