Personally, I disagree , 4 inch lift needs 33 inch tires. Your truck, while looking good, looks small compared to mine. Like the tires are to big for the truck. 6 is the sweet spot for 35's , imo of course

Why do you say that? My truck (14 Sport ) came stock with 33" tires.

My 2015 Big Horn stock tires are 33's as well. They look too small for any lift or level.

Because a 4 inch lift isn't really that high. Putting 35 inch tires takes up a lot of the well. It's just personal preference really. Their is no science behind it, just what I think looks better.

Yup your opinion, can't say I've ever seen anyone install a 4" lift and leave the stock tires on their truck. Who in the hell wants to see a huge open wheel well. Many put 35's on with a leveling kit.

Would love to see pictures of how it looks after. I got 18's on 35's right not but only leveled, doing either a 4" or 6" this summer. Again, make sure to post some pics! ;)

Think I'm in the same boat as you there, although a 4" lift with 33's would look straight up weird haha.

Okay, maybe it would look weird. Its possible I just dislike the 4" lift completely then. It just doesn't look "beefy" enough for me.

I'm getting a 4" lift installed soon. I would love to go with at least a 6" lift, but I still need to fit it into my garage with a 7' door.

I have a zone 6 with bils at 2.1. I have 18s with 35s (close to 17) I originally wanted to go 17 but I kinda feel the 18s bridge the gap between 17 and 20 well. The wheel opens up nice but you still have a nice sidewall!

That looks really nice! Love the look of those headlights! Was on the fence of 17s and 18s and went with 17s again on my 2500dce23c042bfa64863162c005fe29bd73.jpg

Yeah, my 12 1500 was a 4" Mopar with 1.4 Bils and my 15 2500 currently has a 2.5 RCX level. Waiting on my 2" Thuren coils and track bar, along with shocks all the way around. My 2500 currently sits 1" taller all the way around than my 1500. Have the link to those lights by chance?

Agreed. I ended up ordering 18"x10" wheels with -12mm offset. 35x12.50r18 tires. Also ordered a BDS 4" lift with Bilstein 5100's to level her up.

Wanted to go 6", but I have to keep her in the garage with a 7' door.
