4” Ready lift. BFG KO2’s (35x12.5R18) on Mickey Thompson rims. I trimmed the plastic on the rear of the wheel wells and a little off the front. I didn’t take any before measurements of the lift difference so I have nothing to compare it to. I’ll take some pictures and post.

What's your budget for everything? If you're not ready to drop at least $6000+ just for the lift, wheels and tires, and another $1200-1500 to install it, and a bunch of other stuff you'll want after y

Finally bit the bullet, made a decision and ordered my parts.  Now have a Fabtech 6” Gen II Magneride lift, set of grey Fuel Rebel 20x10 -18 wheels wrapped with 35x12.50r20 Toyo Open Country AT III’s.  

 

I’m terribly impatient so the wait for the stuff to arrive is gonna kill me.

Cost me a bit more than I wanted but in the end it's all good.  $1500 for the lift, did the install myself with a little help from a buddy.  Wheels & tires were a little more than twice the price of the lift, so a little over $4.5K for the whole thing.    

 

Gotta take more & better pics but here's one...

If you're not ready to drop at least $6000+ just for the lift, wheels and tires, and another $1200-1500 to install it, and a bunch of other stuff you'll want after you lift it, put a level kit on it and new tires call it a day.

Don't be so afraid to spend money and roll like me and my pal Frankie.

Oh and let's not forget my Bro covetedstyleemoji857.pngemoji857.pngemoji857.png

Thanks man.  Wheels are Moto Metal, but I hated the fake rivet look so I had them painted solid black, and TOYO Open Country AT.

 

Honestly, I'm not sure which McGaugueys they installed, but the kit is really nice.

yup, sounds about right.  Nice truck!  My lift, wheels, tires, etc. came to a bit over $4500.  Did the installation in my garage with a buddies help which saved me $1000+.  Just had to buy beer & pizza.

Let's see more pics of the truck.
Looks like it's set at 7" or 8"
Front tire looks a bit snug in the wheel well. What size are the tires? Mine is a McGaughys at 9" w/ 37's for reference.1b9f660d05a1f1f33787e50d1095227f.jpg

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
