Can I put around a 4.5 suspension lift with a 2 inch BB? This isn't a daily driver

 

sure. im running that setup with no issues. have been for a while

 

Yes, but keep in mind that you'll need to either increase your shock and brake line length or use limiting straps to prevent tearing a brake line or ruining your shocks.

 

Cool thanks I'll keep that in mind I'll probably extend the brake lines and fab something to help the shocks out too.

 

What if I were to run a 6.5 short arm with 2 in bbs

 

Then you would be sitting up high but your suspension travel would not be very good.

Depending on whether your short arms are adjustable or not your axle may end up being too far back and have a harsh ride due to the angle your control arms would be sitting at. A control arm drop may help but would take away some of your ground clearance.


*speaking from research, not experience*

 

It would ride like garbage.

 

I just recently purchased a 6.5 rustys and have yet to install seeing as how I'm still in Afghanistan I was just hoping it would be enough lift for me I know how some companies rate their lifts at a particular height and in reality it sometimes isn't what you desired
