I am trying to decide what level lift To get on my 2011 1500. I don’t want to go too high. I was looking into a 4 in lift with 35s just because it drops down the front end and would keep my cvs level. Does anyone have any pictures of a 4 in lift or know how high it would make the roof of my truck? Or has anyone had any problems with lifts that are less than 4 and don’t drop the front end down

Thanks

2012 with 4"F/3"R Zone lift with Bils up front set at 1.4 ... Been runnin it for 4 years with no issues, aligns properly, and no odd tire wear ... The satellite antenna sits at 80" rollin on 35's ... Fits in my 7' garage door, and most parking decks ... I trimmed my regular radio antenna to 82" ... I pull in a patking deck, and that thing moves, I hit the friggin brakes ... It's happened twice

Same here^^^I just grabbed it with some pliers and turned it back and forth while pulling and it came right off. After cutting the mast to length I then filed the tip down until the ball fit snugly and pressed mine back on. Then painted everything semi gloss black. I do all my trucks like this, have been for years. Did my 2017 the same day I brought it home. Never understood why people buy short antennas when you can cut yours to whatever length you want for free.
