I am looking for what you all thought about a 6 in. lift. What brands are good? and if anyone knows a good place in the east bay, ca to get it done.

 

I'd go with a Fabtech with dirt logic coilovers.

 

I agree. The RCD and Rize are also excellent.

 

i dont really think you can buy a "bad" suspension lift for your truck. you get what you pay for though too. ive heard good things and bad things about all. the cheapest option is the pro comp stage 1 and the "new" rough country lifts, both around 1300 bucks from what i see online. fabtech will dirt logics will run around 2500 or so depending or where you buy it. if its just a street queen, light weekend wheeler, the pro comp will be fine and save some cash in the process. and there's Rize and RCD too. i personally got a rancho and love it buts its only a 4" lift.

 

Thanks for the tips guys. Im hoping to get this thing lifted up soon.

 

I would say a good 6" lift would be the procomp stage 2 with the coilovers. 4 wheel parts has it listed at about $2300 right now online.

 

What size tires you want to run? For the 6" lift I'd say Fabtech or RCD, both are nice kits. If you ever think you'll wanna go bigger you might as well just get a 8"lift now. Rize and CST both have nice, well built kits.

 

I've seen Fabtech being recommended a lot so I have it high on my list. As for tires, I assumed the tire size would depend on my lift height. How high of a lift is that truck in your photo Texan?

 

he's obviously got 10"s of lift and 38's.. i left the dealership with my new truck in january and headed straight to the lift shop for a 6" Fabtech lift and i put 35's with 18" rims.. i now am looking for a way to get another 2" of lift because after a while this 6" lift looks like stock.. it was big for about 2 months though!! trust me, you will want to go bigger someday if you go with the 6"

P.S. My fabtech performs very well in all offroad situations.. trust me, ALL offroad situations..

 

Yeah it's 10" of lift on 38s. More pics in my gallery if you wanna look.

 

just splurge and go 8" plus!! then you wont regret getting a smaller lift and then wanting a larger one. Youll have a large one and want a huge one

 

hey texas, whats your rim offset??

 

4.56.... Rize recommends 4.5 backspacing. 38x15.5s and no rubbing.

 

I wouldn't go ANY bigger than a 6" with 35s at this point...gas is just too ridiculous. Of course, if you dont drive the truck much then get bigger.

I was originally doing 6" and 35s later this summer. Now its looking like the 4" rancho and 33s because i drive a lot of highway and gas is too much. 35"+ tires really hurt MPG.

 

6" lift and 35x12.5x18 i was getting 9-10.5 mpg.. i also have 3.55 gears whichh sucks but i just dont have 1600 to get 4.56's...

texas, what kind of fender flares are those??? and did you have to get them painted??
