Consensus on 4" lift.

RoadKing said:

Getting smart on lifts is not easy it's a bit of a rabbit hole. I see a lot of parts listed but knowing which part is lacking is not obvious to me yet.

For instance does any one see there is something obviously lacking on the Zone 4"?

What brand tire are you running? I am wanting toyo rt but 34" may not come in 12.5 width i need to find out.

Hey is getting a speedometer recalibrated easy enough? I can remember years ago people going to do it and not able to get it done for some dump reason.

Consensus on 4" lift.


Loved my 4" Mopar (Superlift). Comes with Bilsteins on all 4 corners. Ended up adjusting them to 1.4 and was running 35s on her. Paid $1865 for everything. BDS, Zone, or Superlift is what most would recommend. My biggest gripes with RCX lift on these trucks is that the rear they just pop in a spacer. No control arm brackets. Causing your rear angles to be all off. as you can see there are no drop brackets even on their 6" lift. Also the 4" with Bils at 1.4" puts you at a true 5" lift. Sits 1" lower front and rear than a 6" on the same size tires. Measured a few people's I've ran into. But like stated above, some people like their RCX lift. I mean I'm running their 2 1/2" level on my new truck, although it's temporary until I get Power Wagon springs

I've got the 4" Superlift & am very happy with it. You won't go wrong with Superlift, Zone or BDS.





For winter I used the stock 20's with 275-65-20's & 1.5" spacers. I could have puts 35's on the stock rims but wanted a narrower tire for the snow.

Hi Joeygster,

Same question for you as well. By the way nice truck mine is very similar.
Maybe at some point I'll get to taking/uploading some pics.


I know it's been a few years though do you remember the wheel to fender spacing with the shocks set to 1.4"
I have the same lift and the front shocks are current set to the highest position and my front end is higher than the rear.
I'm looking to get to the most level setting maybe with a little front rake so when I'm towing it's level.
Not sure if I should go down one notch or two. Two notches down would be the 1.4 setting.

Mine sat higher on the front for the first week or so after the Bils were installed. It settled down though.

I just measured it now and it's almost identical at 9 1/2" from tire to the underside of my Bushwacker flares.

Hope that helps.

You can go with a zone or bds 6 inch also. Choose the 3 inch rear coils instead of the 5 inch. Dont install the preload spacer and leave the bils at 0 if you put them on. This will leave you 5 front and 3 rear. If you decide to go higher simply replace the rear springs with the 5 inch coils and adjust the bils up. Will give you the ability to go up to 7.8 in the front and 5 in the rear later if you choose for minimal expense. It includes all brackets for the front and rear ant the ride quality is great.
