Okay so I am wondering what would be the best way to go about going from 4.5" to 6.5" of lift? right now I have a 4.5" RC X-Series lift and am thinking about bumping up to 6.5" when these tires wear out.

Im only helping you since you live in Georgia.
This basically gets asked daily. Anyways..

1. Why 6.5? what can you do with 6.5 that you cant on 4.5?
2. 6.5 is the point of needing long arms...you ready for em?
3. What size tires you wanting to run? Gears may be something you wanna budget for.
4. What steering you running? Tall lifts make stock steering worse than it already is..not to mention bigger tires will snap your tie rod like a twig.

 

Yeah I was just thinking about it. It'll be on down the road and I was planning on bumping up to 35s. My plans will be regear, lock, chromoly shafts, new gussets etc. just weighing my options lol

 

I get your point, but would it take any more time to simply answer the question than it did to post the link. When a thread gets to 972 pages of posts, I'm not reading through every one of them to find the answer to a question. Jmo.

 

Here's mine 3 inches and 35s.. 4.5 and 35s would be a nice setup..much more stable..and a bit cheaper than going up to 6.5

 

Well thats why you dont read through all the posts. You ask the question in that thread, as thats what its there for.

 

look at what comes in a 6.5" kit.

look at what your 4.5" kid has.

add parts from 6.5" kit to 4.5" kit (keep in mind some parts may and will be longer than what you have now)

dont forget steering and driveline

 

I'm at 6.5 with long arms and 35s looking to go 4.5 because 6.5 suck to dd and sucks even more to wheel I'd do something else with the money imo
