Lift kit advice?

[WilliamBos]

I’m looking for advice on a 4” lift kit for my 17 Silvy, planning on a 17” wheel and 33” tire.  I don’t want the tires sticking out too far as I am not adding flares, the less they stick out, the better.  What offset do you recommend?

 

Fabtech, CTS, BDS, RC?

33’s don’t require a lift. I would just do a level

He wants a lift. Let him get a lift. I don't do small lifts but

  I do not want to stress  out components with spacers,  not a fan of those short cuts.I want a tail up stance, so I can get a leaf added to the rear.

Ok. It’s your money. Buying a lift when you don’t need one is your prerogative

Lift kits are for those with tiny dicks. Theres no practical use other then making your truck top heavy and less fuel efficient

I had my 2 inch level on for 60k miles with no problems. I was mostly on the pavement, but I did do light “off-roading” when I drove in the pastures. I would be putting spacers on my 2018, but I’m saving for a 6 inch lift. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think 33s are close if not factory size. You may not need anything to fit them unless you are going for looks.

Great first post Mike. 

You are just jealous your wife won't let you lift your truck. Either that or you can't afford it.

Head over to GM full-size. Lot of guys like you over there.

Im not sure if 33”s will fit without rubbing?  Im staying with 17” wheels, my tires are 265 70 17 which measure 31.6”.   My friend just bought a 2020 custom with 265 60 20 on it, they measure 33” tall.

 

Did they have a 20” wheel option on these trucks?  Maybe a 33” will fit.

A 4” lift kit on my 1500 will put me at the same height as a 2500HD.  Furl efficient?  I owned a 17 Ram hemi, that truck was a pig in town.  My Silvy blows it away in mpg.

I had 34” tires in my 1500 without rubbing stock height. I leveled be cause it was more proportional to the size of tires. With level.

So, I had both. I guess that means I’m confused.

Difference with you is that you’re respectful of everyone’s truck, being lifted or stock, stock engine or modified. There seems to be a lack of education coming from one that feels the need to enter a truck forum and show his/her intelligence or lack of.
