It's a cycle. You'll lift it then you will wish you went bigger. Once it's as big as your willing to go you will love it. Heads will turn and it will be great. Eventually you will start having problems and you will get tired of chasing issues. It won't be fun anymore and you will eventually wished you didn't lift it. LOL
Funny... I don't have that issue. I'm at 9" of lift on a daily driven 3500 right now and I still want ti go higher
I definitely do get what you're saying though. But if a lift is done right it shouldn't give you any issues and therefore no regrets.
Lemme ask y'all this: if I just want to run 35s does it make more sense to go with a 4" and save a few bucks?
Completely depends on your preference. IMO 35's look great on a 6" lift but some people don't like the look as the tire doesn't fill up the wheel well as much. I'd recommend looking at a bunch of pictures of 4" and 6" lifts running 35's. The website Custom Offsets is a good place to look through different setups. Otherwise the forum is also great as well
I don't have any of these, but I've been researching the dog**** out of em for the last 3 months...
Fox owns BDS and Zone...probable the most popular and liked it seems...6" BDS is around $2300 and BDS 4" is around $2100
Zone 6" is around $1500 and Zone 4" is around $1400
Then there is Superlift @ $1900 (with Bils) and RCX...not sure of pricing
Mopar lift is a re-branded uber expensive Superlift
Like xrsman said, diff between 4 and 6 is tiny
Also, BDS/Zone and Superlift come with a supplemental powertrain warranty to 100,000 miles to cover what your dealer may deny due to lift.
For the record Fox doesn't own BDS and Zone. BDS and Zone are owned by the same company and partnered with Fox for their line of shocks.
And the difference between a 4" and 6" lift is generally 1.5". Most 4" kits do actually provide 4" of lift while most 6" kits actually provide 5.5" of lift. Obviously adding Bilsteins or coilovers changes that...
Klaus, why no rough country? $1500 for a 6" and a lifetime warranty. Superlift has a note on their lifts staying they will not work on a regular cab did to driveshaft issues.
Badvik, I was only planning on ql to level. If I lift I'd go bils.
Stay away from Rough Country. About 1.5 years ago they changed their lift so that they only provide rear coil spacers with the lift rather than full replacement lift coils. Not the way you want to lift your truck.... Plus they don't powdercoat the steering knuckles so if you don't paint or powdercoat them they will be rusted in no time and look terrible.
The best "bang for your buck" kit is Zone. Gives you everything you need, good quality, good warranty, etc. BDS would be the next step up from that.
I think my situation is gonna work with Rancho QLL because I have 3" of factory rake and Rancho with only 2" setting should be OK. What do you think?
You're using the Rancho's just to level the truck correct? I think badvik was referring to using them with a lift kit which is not ideal.
