I too had the same dilemma. I was able to get the SuperLift 6” kit for the same price as the 4”. I opted for the 4” for one simple reason. My wife is, shall we say, “vertically challenged “. She struggled getting in the truck with the 33’s and a leveling kit. I figured a 4” lift along with 35’s would pretty much be the max she could “comfortably “ get in and out. I have to admit, I really wanted the 6” kit, but functionally the 4” kit definitely was a better choice for us.
Amp research steps come down and make it a joy to get in and out. If 3 year old kids can get in and out that a win for everyone. The only problem with kids is they can’t reach the door handles

I agree the AMP steps make a huge difference as they extend down much lower than standard steps. Then they fold back up for optimal ground clearance and a great clean look! Our customers love them and think the investment is well worth it!

I wish I could get a set. But the weather up here is to harsh on that kind of stuff.
They would surprise you. They work great in all weather. We had back to back 30+ inch snow storms the first winter i had mine on. They were flawless. And I have been sunk in mud on more than 1 occasion. They impress me everytime i open my door

The 2.5 looks really expensive but when put into perspective they cost a little more than a set of tires. @RJL1 was truly back and forth for almost a year with me. The kit he ended up with is the exact kit I run on my own truck. Minus the Core 4x4 rear end setup and hellwig sway bar. I don’t know anyone that regretted purchasing any 2.5 coilover, it’s money well spent
Well my wife put the kibosh on my plans for a lift :( kitchen and bath Reno apparently are more important first! I read through the leveling thread but now I’m more confused... can I use fox 2.0 on the front end to level and are they still usable when I do lift it? What do I need for the rear end or is it fine stock? Or a new wife... no that’s too expensive!!

You can absolutely get the fox 2.0’s now and use them with a lift. Depending on your measurements the rear may be able to stay stock.

I believe a lifted truck hauls kitchen and bathroom renovation materials better than a stock truck ;)
Priorities my friend

Already incorporated in @Nick@GotExhaust "quick_shifter" package :cheers:

I believe its the Quick_shifter Stage 5 kit if memory serves. That included the Core 4x4 set up
Does it fit on 2012 or is this for 2013 and above?
How much does all this goodness (Quick_shifter Stage 5) costs?
I checked the gotexhaust.com website which took me to freedommotorsports.com and it is not on there.
Thanks!

thanks for reaching out. I have responded. We havent loaded these packages yet due to manufacturer delays with some products. Once things are a little more back to normal we will be adding these but everyone is welcome to contact me for pricing and availability for any QuickShifter packages or anything else.

If you need to still fit into a standard 7’ garage then 4” is the way to go, the 6” lift won’t fit especially with 35”+ tires.

If garage Peking isn’t an issue and you’re moving up to 35” - 37” tires then 6” is a little cooler I feel.
