How big for my first lift... I want to fit 32s I don't mind cutting my fenders either, I plan on doin a 6.5 later on down the road with 35s.

 

I like the price on the 3in.

 

I'd stick with the 3". I've got one and I love it.

Anything taller than 3" and you really run the risk of more headaches. (driveline vibes, SYE, new trac bar, etc)

 

Why not just save more money then buy the 6.5 kit if youre eventually going to do that anyway...just my thoughts...

As far as 3'' vs. 4.5'', either one in my opinion is good. I prefer the 4.5'' to the 3'' though. I say go for the 4.5''.

 

I started with a 3" and have since gone to 3.5". I know, not much difference, but I'm happy with it and it'll be as far as I go. I can run 32's with the fenders slightly trimmed and with it only being 3.5", all I've had to do in addition to the lift itself is a 1" t-case drop.

 

I'm too anxious to wait for the cash for a 6.5 lol, I wanna do a little more aggressive wh3elin while I save for the big lift. I'm just worried the 3 inch wont be satisfying but the 32s mmay make up for it

 

How'd u go from a 3 to a 3.5?

 

He aired the tires up...lol

 

I am doin a little reasearch and the 3in kit comes with rear add a leaf springs... are they reliable, safe, and will the small piece of metal even be able to lift the rear. Sorry newborn question

 

Ordering my 3in kit from rough country as I type!!!! I'm crazy excited.

 

i put on a 3" and within 3.5 months i was installing 4.5" and cutting the fenders. id start with a 4.5" if i had to do it again.

 

33s can fit on a truck with a 3" lift and trimmed fenders.

Anything bigger than 3" and you have the potential to run into problems. Problems you'll have to throw more money at.

If you are saving for a bigger kit, get the one you know you won't have to put tons of money into and will still be able to run the tires you want to get.

 

Well my plan now is to do the 3 inch that I ordered.... and pick up some spacers and shackles to get a little more height on some 33s.

 

With fender trimming you should be fine with what the lift kit comes with.

I know some folks don't wanna cut that much from their truck, though.
