Perfectly happy with my 4" setup . . . Some people have limitations . . . Mine happened to be a 83" garage door height . . . Leaving a $40K truck sit in the driveway is out of the question, especially thru an Ohio winter . . . No ofense, but making generalized statements that the OP should get 6" or nothing at all is just ridiculous

What size tires are you running? Are 2wheel or 4 wheel

All your trucks look fantastic. I wanted to just do a leveling kit on my 2wd but after what I have read I'm Not so sure I want to. I have been looking at the 4.5 spindle kit by maztrac or cst. Do you guys think 275 65 20s will be to small on it? Thanks

They are tall enough, just not wide enough ... Lol ... BFG has a 285/65 that looks good .... 295 and beyond you'll need spacers or new wheels with less offset ... Lol, once it starts, the $$$$$'s just start flyin outa yo bank account

Haha thanks bowers I love your truck it looks so good. So by saying they're not wide enough they will just look skinny or they won't work together cuz they're to skinny? I don't want to spend a ton of money but I have a bug for something custom and new

The 275/65's will work fine ... They are rhe same width as the factory tires, just an inch taller ... I'm runnin that size on factory wheels right now for winter ... Once you lift, I just think a lil wider tire and a lil wider stance just looks better, but that's just me

Oh and I'm 24 bowers and couldn't agree more the white letter look sooo sick on his truck.

My biggest fear is doing the 4.5 and then not being satisfied with how it looks and have to drop 1200 on new tires. Or more. But I want the front end up. I think it will just set it all off

Thanks for the compliments guys! Made this one kind of a throwback to my first truck. Green Dodge, BFGs w/white letters, on dark wheels

I felt my 305/70R17 KM2s were a liiiiitle too small once I went up to 1.4 on the Bilstein's. Only put 7k miles on th before I went up to 35s
Here's some pics for reference
