Been thinking about lifting the truck and the 4" rough country and 6" rough country lift is only a $100.00 difference.

I do not plan on running any tire larger the 33" or 34" as I am using it to tow our 20' camper. But I do want the truck to be higher.

Thoughts?????? Opinions?

I would lift it based on what you want and like, not the price. But I think a 33" tire would look pretty flimsy with a 6" lift. If you go in with a lift like that, you go all in IMO.

I have 34.5” tires on a 3” front 1.75” rear lift. Bigger the lift, bigger the tires or may not look right

agree with above. With your desire to stay at or below 34", 4" lift is where you want to be. Check out customoffsets.com and plug in your details to get a look at what others have done. Lots of trucks out there with that lift and those tire sizes.

Or just level it if your set on sticking with 33s/34s

Yeah in my opinion 33’s are gonna look lost on a 4” or 6” RC lift. I have 37’s under my 6” RC lift and they clear easily

Agreed I would level it with the bill steins and maybe putting a stiffer coil on the back for your towing.

for some reason i think my truck is already leveled out. I down loaded the build sheet and it has something listed there about it being lifted or raised height.

This is with 4.5/3 inch Maxtrac lift with stock tires. I did add 1.5 rear spacer to even out the front.

many trucks list that raised height, and there is still debate/confusion what that actually is. Your truck is not already leveled. I also agree with the others that if you are sticking with 33's just level the front with bilstein 5100 adjustables. I set mine to 2.1 and I'm running a 34" tire

What tires are your running. I’m curious
