Which 4" Or Under Kit?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Which kit would be the best for my 08 Sierra? im want to run 33x12.5 r18s but i want a more aggressive stance than a leveling kit

The Rancho 4" (even though more like a 6") $1400

The Rough Country 3" $429

The Tough Country 4" $1500

The CST 4" $1900

I like the Rancho because i can fit 35's if i decide to do that one day. Its also a reputable brand for a decent price. ANY Suggestions or Recomendations for my truck would be GREATLY appreciated.

actually the rancho 4" really lifts your rig 5 1/8" or something like that. while most 6" kits say that they lift that big. they really don't. the only one i've seen lately is the BDS true six inch but i haven't read any reviews outta petersons four wheel drive to back that up. they did a "6 inch suspension run-around" on 06 chevys. very informative on the products.

I just bought a 4" CST for my 08 suburban.

I have had other Chevy's (02 crew cab & 04 suburban) with 6" RCD lifts, great lifts but they increase the front track width causing front tires to stick out and fling road crap all over the truck. CST is the only knuckle lift I know of that does not increase track width. :D

Yeah I hear you man, but you still have to have get aftermarket wheels to get less of an offset. Stock is +31 and I went to a +12 so it sticks out almost an inch (23.94/32 i think).

yep, got the most back space with 18" rims that would fit with RCD, still stuck out enough to spew road sauce all over my rig

I hate when that happens, I am building mudflap brackets that should help with that. First day I got my truck I heard a rock ping... made me want to cry :shakehead:

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?
