Nice lift! Did you use the front spacers that came with the kit or just use your Bilsteins and set it at 1.4? Looking to do the same.

Thx ... I don’t believe there are spacers with a 4” kit .... Proly thinkin 6”

I've been running a Bils 2.8 level for the last year and a half and have been pretty happy with it, but after seeing one with a 4" lift last week...now I'm wondering...will that still fit in my garage???

I went for a level as well with 285's, and now going with a zone lift and much bigger tires. At first, seemed great and I thought I would be happy... I was wrong.

Which part are you asking about though? The tires or the suspension for the lift?
All of it I guess....I do like bowers setup what is that again what lift with 35s?

You’re exactly right ... I run 12.50’s in the summer, and 275’s in the Winter .... Just for that reason .... In deep snow, 12.50’s just plow

"Grocery Getter" & work commuter checking in here. In my youth I drove sports cars that were fun as hell but completely useless for anything but.

I'm older now and getting ready to retire but still feel like a 20 year old inside. My lift RAM with 35's is my new sports car. It's fast as hell (3.92 gears) but can still be purposeful when needed. It's a total garage queen that I keep as impeccable as possible. If I get it dirty I get it cleaned up as soon as is practicable...simple as that. I love going for summer lakefront drives in it with my wife........it's brings me back to my youth.

For the critics who wonder why I would want such a beast, I say just live and let live. That's what makes me happy. Framed like that I'm sure you'll understand.

Anyway as BowerSFJ mentioned I also have a summer/winter setup just out of practicality. I need to stay planted on the highway during winter driving and as a bonus my aftermarket wheels don't get salted pitted and destroyed.

I'm running a 4" Superlift with Bilsteins set at 1.4". I use 20x9 Rockstars (-12mm offset) and 35x12.5x20 Cooper STT Pro's in summer and the factory Sport rims with 1.5" Bora spacers and 275-65-20 Duratracs in the winter.

Both set-ups look completely badass......in my opinion.....and opinions vary I know.

I thought the whole thing was to upgrade the suspension parts someone on here told me to do the zone and use fox shocks.

I was thinking about using my 20s that came on express as winter rims and then maybe get a good summer pair I don’t know if staying with 20s or going to 18s is the right thing to do

You'll be fine with the 20's....especially since you already have the 20's. I went with a taller Duratrac size than OEM (275-65 instead of 275-60) and the ride is really comfortable.

The OEM rims also seem to fair better with the salt/brine crap that gets used in the winter. My polished aluminum OEM Sport rims still look brand new after 4.5 winters in southern Ontario...the brine/salt capital of the world.

I’ve been a fan of 285/60 just shy of a 34” tire great traction in the snow we’ve been putting them on a lot of leveled trucks this year. Tall and skinny but not too skinny. I’m the idiot that runs 325/60’s on my personal truck so I’m going off of my customers reviews

Yeah brother just had a dirt plow take his front corner and **** it up. He had two pairs of 285 65 20....obv it makes sense to run those if he’s gonna give them to me with only 15000 and I can decide on a summer pair later on

I’m also kind of lost with one of the comments in this thread someone said to use fox shocks? So I’m assuming that’s the front shocks? Or am I thinking about this wrong that I’d unlock it say 4 inches I can use stock struts exit or is is something I want to change with lift?
