Any of you guys with the 4" lifts regret not getting a 6"? I'm on the fence with this just like everybody else was! 4" or 6" ?!?! ... No plans of regearing in the near future.. And just got a new set of 35's so they're not going anywhere. Most say 35's too small for 6" but I haven't seen a good side shot on here or youtube. I think I'm just needing someone to say "hey man those 35's will look great with a 6" lift"...

Hey man those 35 s will look great with a 6" lift ! Lol

This is just my opinion! I do think the 6" kits look good with 35s , I think the 4" looks a bit stuffed with 35s . I also think the 37s look ok with the 6"

I think it depends on what size option you plan to run in the back and then whether or not you'd need to go with Bilstein's or something to level it. So say you went with 6" with 5" coils and then added another 2.1" with the Bils or so then 35's would definitely look small. But if you keep it at 6" or under, 35's look fine. IMO. A solid wheel/tire combo can help you out too.

I'm happy with my 4" lift, with 3" coils and Bils at 1.4". I can get a pic for ya tomorrow if that would help.

Thanks R.L.K.!!

I currently have the bilstiens.. Right now im at 2.8 front and 3/4 spacer, rear. 17x9 with 35x12.5 nitto tg. I would love to stay level or no more than 1" rake. I'm leaning towards superlift, if that helps. 4" same price as the 6" lol. They make it hard.

And smoothie, a pic would be appreciated. One thing I'm sure about is I really like a 4" lift with 35's... There's no questioning that. It's going up to the 6". Worried I will be 3 months down the road and wish I bought the 6".

I think the 4" kits with bills look great with 35 s like smoothee above ! If the kits are the same $ I'd personally go with the 6" . Does super lift offer 3" & 5" rear coils like zone & BDS ? if so go with the 3" , set the bills accordingly to maintain level , it will look great with your 35s . If you wanted to go 37s in the future you could max the bills back out and get the 5" coils in the rear

I think that looks great myself!

Not 100% sure how superlift acquires it's lift. But I will research some more.

All about personal preference bud.

I've had multiple lifted trucks with 35's and 37's and for me it'd be 37's all day.

I just know when I had a 6" and had the 35's I was kickin my self in the ass every time I looked at it knowing I should've gotten 37's.

Not makin that mistake again.

I'm running 6" bds lift with 35 toyo mts and they don't look small on my truck at all. I was thinking about going with 37's also but glad I didn't. My brother has a 6 pro comp lift on his and his sits a couple inches higher in the back then mine. It makes his look sorta small but not that bad.

Keep in mind the AT II's I have aren't a true 35" either. I would love to go with 37's and was close to pullin the trigger a while back, but she's a pavement princess and I didn't want the 3.55's to suffer any more than they do now. Can you believe I washed the ol girl two days ago?!

I put a 6" lift on my '15 2500 4wd and went with 35s originally. I convinced myself they looked ok. But as time went on, they began to look too small. I ended up selling them and going with a 37" tire which filled it out a lot better and looked 10x better IMO.

I believe the OP is a 1500 .
I agree with you Sir a 2500 with 6" lift would look better with 37s
