Suspension Lift Kit Thread
Posted on 9/29/15 at 2:12 pm

Debating between 3 inch/ 4.5 inch/ 6 inch lift. Probably really won't go 6 but damn you go 3, why not go 4.5
Only problem, i'm only a year in my stock size tires. (which are maybe a bit over half inch less in diameter but 11 inch width compared to 12.5) Might do tuner delete first then and do lift in year and half or 2 when i'm closer to ordering new tires.
But, what you guys got, and brand of lift? i've been looking at rough country. This pic is a 3 inch lift, pretty clean looking.

What kind of truck do you have? Don't do a really high suspension lift

The front looks 15" higher than the rear. Vomitous.

this is 4.5 " RC lift kit and shows exactly what's held back these years.... kids in and out.

stupid question, does a 4.5 lift present problems at car washes or drive thrus?
Posted on 9/29/15 at 2:24 pm to Chad504boy
Just be glad it isn't like this

In a F250, absolutely. My 6.7 wouldn't fit in the car wash after just a 2.5" leveling kit and 35's. I'm fine in drivethrus but have had to back out of a parking garage once. I'd imagine your case would be even worse since practially all those lifts would look silly with anything less than 37s.
My suggestion, and if I had to do it again(and one day I might), I'd rather spend money on quality component/ride than size. Ex: Before spending $1500 on that Rough Country 6" I'd buy a smaller lift with good coils and shocks.

RC specs on 3" and 4.5" calls for 35's. I'd thought the 4.5" can fit the 37's though.

The Fords have a ton of room, I've seen 35's on a stock truck, and 37s on just a 2.5" leveling kit.

seriously though, i really love them AMp Powered running boards that tuck underneath and open when doors open. Don't like $1200 price tag though.

You can get the Best Stop Powerboards for around $1000, I have them and have become indifferent about them. They're cool but once the novelty wore off I prefered the way my NFab rails looked.
