2014+ Suspension Lifts

Robert.jean1 · February 11, 2016

Put an order in for the lift, tires, and wheels today. Hope it comes out the way I want it or I'll be pretty sad. Thanks for everyone's pics, comments, and inputs. They all played into my decision. Here is what I am getting:

Lift: 4.5" Zone lift

Wheels: 18x9 +0 Offset

Tires: 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers

Misc: .5" strut spacer (to help clear the tires) and 1.5" wheel spacers for the rear (so they match the poke in the front)

Again, thanks everyone. Pretty excited. now a week of waiting for everything to come in, then making the appointment at the shop.

I look forward to seeing the outcome.

How come you are going with the 4.5 and a spacer instead of just going with the 6.5? I had a 4.5 inch on my last truck and I ended up adding a level and body lift to make it higher. Won't make that mistake again lol

it's only a .5" spacer, so it's a .25" thick. this is only as a precaution in case the tires won't fit up front. talked to a guy who has done some really nice trucks out in alabama and this is what he recommended. I didn't go with the 6.5" lift because it's too tall for my taste, and more importantly my lifestyle. I need to be under a certain to height to get into work and into my garage. That being said, if i need to, i can just get the upper strut spacer and rear block to make my lift a 6.5" from zone. so it's cool.

Bobbylowe,

I think the 5 inch lift is going to make those tires look small.

I have the 5 inch rcx. I think my tires look a little small and they are 34 inches. I am in the same boat as you. These tires cost me 1300 and they only have 10k on them.

Can anyone tell me what lift this truck might have. I have looked and looked for where I found this picture and can't seem to find it again. I'd like to do the same on mine.

Probably some type of 6" with 35x12.5x20

CoDenali · February 15, 2016

I was thinking a 4" with 33's. If anyone knows who's truck or where to see specs, let me know please

It looks great, but I personally think it needs more negative offset. I know many people dislike spacers, but I think some 1-2" spacers would do it some good in the looks department

I prefer the flush look.... But thats just me.

I hope you're wrong Insane - I opted for the 7.5" and I'm dropping it off in the morning. I decided if I have to bite the bullet, I'd rather have the lift I want and have to get new tires. The shop here said they use 305/55r20 tires with the 5" lift. I'm praying that it won't look silly, but I don't want to have to do a bodylift to fit 35's when it's time to upgrade to the next size.

I'll definitely post some after pictures.

You're likely right. I'd rather she'll out the $$ for tires than have to get more lift when the time comes.

This time tomorrow I'll post after pictures.
