4" Lift Kit options

[shadowhawk]

Have you considered the bilstein route and Zone body lift?

1. Bilsteins at 2.8 in front
2. Rear ICON 1.75” Coils
3. Rear ICON shocks
4. Zone Upper Control Arms
5. Zone 1-1/2” Body Lift

That would be a good budget lift with quality parts in the 4” range with no cutting of the frame, completely reversible.

I wasn't going Icon rear end, but almost the same thing I have planned.

A TGC spacer and Bilsteins for the rear would work great too.

Ultimate on this (imo) would be the Bilstein 6112’s and 5160’s out back with the Zone UCA and BL

Bed cover was the next thing I was thinking of. I am getting tired of shoveling snow out of my bed, and blowing larch needles out in the fall.

The 6112s are overkill for my road queen.

You're close. I'll do the TGC spacer and Bils in back, too.

If you get a 6” there is no cutting involved. Only
Other route that does not involve cutting is the aev lift kit I believe. Pretty much any 4 inch requires cutting the bracket for the front differential

I am thinking about putting a lift on my 2015 power wagon. I have lifted every truck I have owned. Ford's f250, Chevy k20,an jeep j20, Dodge 2500.
Just don't want the stiff ride anymore, the body is starting to get a little bit old. Lol
But I still like the brute look of a 4 to 5 inch lift. Just wondering what will be the best one for the 2015 power wagon. Thanks for your input

I'm not interested in going 6". But the RCX 6" kit DOES require cutting the diff mounts off just like the 4" kit does.

Yeah that’s the unfortunate thing. I was in the same boat and ended up going 6” with coilovers after the 4” lift. But look into American expedition vehicles. They have a 4” that I’m pretty sure you do not have to cut anything. It’s direct bolt on. But msrp is like 3k. But I know there’s dealers that install them.

The 4” rough country will come with new spindles to keep all the angles correct to keep from ruining parts like those cv axles. Rough country is just perfect for a mainly road use truck. It’ll handle light off roading no problem also. Had a rough country on my 2006 for 5 years and no problems and now my 2015 has a 6” rc lift and it rides damn near as good as a stock ram does. A 4” lift and 35’s will look good together if you’re worried about too much height with a 6” lift, but keep in mind rc lifts aren’t exactly true 6” lifts. They lift the front 6” and the rear 4” to get a level stance so they don’t sit as high as like a zone 6” unless you get the zone with the 3” rear lift to achieve a level stance like the rc. A lot of the lifts are 6” front and 5” rear to maintain a factory rake hence the reason people add bilsteins on top of their lift to get it level which is fine if you want all that height but my rc 6” sits level without those. Just some things to keep in mind. Here’s a pic of mine with 6” and 35” tires.

Hey do u have any more pics? Side maybe? I have a 2010 sport that I’m trying to decide between a 4 and 6” lift. I would probably go with RC and get their new struts that they offer. I have some xd grenade with 0 offset and 285/65/20 ko2 ready to rock. I just can’t decide if 6 is too much or 4 not enough and won’t be happy in the end.

If your debating it then get the 6”. I debated it and ended up spending more money to convert my 4” to a 6”.

I’d go 6” if you’re thinking about it, like I said the rough country isn’t as bad since the lift levels it and the rear is only a 4” lift. I like the idea of those struts since they eliminate any spacers up front and they have good reviews from what I’ve read.Here’s a few more pics.

I agree with all the others. I really debated between the 4"and 6" lift. I ended up going with a 6" and I'm glad I did. The 4-inch just wasn't going to be high enough. I ended going with the 6" BDS Lift and honestly my truck does not look that high. I am running the AMP power steps so getting out of the truck is not a problem. I'm running 35 x12.5x20 Toyo Open Country extremes on chrome fuel Maverick 20x10 wheels with a -12 offset. The BDS kit I installed was very well made but honestly I don't think it was worth the extra money compared to some of the other kits out there. I think if you go with a Zone or RCX lift they're probably just as good and cost a lot less. The sea couple pictures my truck with the 6" BDS and 35s it doesn't look that high.

Clean setup. The cat underneath is inspecting your truck.

Thank you. I like the way it came out. That cat under my truck is actually my dog lol! He was a stray that showed up at work and I ended up bringing him home.

From my research I basically decided if your going to daily drive and not really
Off-road then go with zone or even rcx. If your going to be running it hard then go with bds for the no questions lifetime warranty.

I've got the 6" BDS w/ 37x13.50x20 open country's... Barely squeek into the garage. Had to swap out the sharkfin antenna for a low profile one.
