Hey all,

Decided I'm going with a Superlift, Bilsteins in the front. I can't seem to figure out whether to get a 4" or 6", mostly because heights of parking garages. I live outside the city so that's the reason.

I've read that there isn't really a difference on the gas mileage or other things so not too worried about that. As far as performance it doesn't matter between the two, although I want 6" for looks.
So for the people with a 4" or 6" lift, what are your experiences?? Both with public parking garages and your own. And maybe other things to keep in mind! Tried researching but couldn't find too much info on this topic.

Can't wait to get this stuff done once I'm back in the states. Currently playing hockey in Europe. Thanks!!

Why are the emblems backwards on the picture of the white ram?

Isn't a 6" on a 1500 about the stock height of a 2500??

Well if it is... Then it should be no problem at all lifting my truck 6" and having 35's on it, right? Since 2500's must be manufactured to fit in a normal garage.

I can only recall goin in a covered parking lot on base and it was pretty tall...no issues there either.

Me next to stock 2500 for reference....

Man your truck is nasty. Nice!!:favorites13:

If you have a pic of your truck next to a stock (or close to) 1500 it'd much much appreciated. Now you're running 37's right? I got 35's so it would probably be close to a 2500.
