Hey man... I am in Powell. Kind of on the Powell/Delaware/Dublin border.

 

After seeing rutherk's truck I'm glad I did not keep my 285's on my truck after my Fabtech. imo

 

Yeah... 285/70/17s is the smallest I would go on a 4 inch lift. A 6 inch would be really puny. If this motor had a little more power Id put some meats on it but the 285s work like a charm and dont look to redneck.

 

You'd be surprised how the 4.6 road on 35s. Rides pretty good in my opinion. After a month or so Im thinking about regearing or finding another solution to get it back to stock power. I need to sell my 33s for a low price of 400 bucks.

 

33s will look alright but any smaller and it will look horrible. .

 

Ruther,

Very sweet truck! I noticed it was a 133" wheelbase model too.
Can you do me a favor and measure how high the back is? (see my pic)


I am very interested in this lift... but I still want to park in the garage.

Also does the truck sit up highest in the back?

Thanks again! Love the truck!

 

My truck is level. If anything its .5 inches higher in the back but you cant tell.

If you are asking how far the top of the rear tire is compared to the bottom of the wheel well, that height is - 11 1/2 inches in the back and 10 3/4 inches in the front. If not, just add 32.70 in (tire size) to the height.

I have no problem getting into parking garages that are 7.5ft +. Fits in my garage with no problems. Rides better than stock. I think its a good compromise between a bigger lift and baloon tires and a stock truck. This is how they should look from the factory. It looks like a 4x4. I drove past my truck at the lot 4 times wishing it was 4x4 then I finally saw the sticker.

 

What is the hight from ground to the wheel well lip... like I measured in my picture?
Can you measure that for me? Around 43" maybe? Please let me know.. Thanks, -f2f-

 

44.2 back and 43.5 front.

 

Way way cool! Thanks ruther! I so want this kit... your truck is awesome!

 

I will be taking PLENTY of pictures of the install this weekend. I just have to decide on a tire.

I am kind of wanting to go with the 8.5" rim and 275/65/20 GY ATS (34.2"). Since, I drive like 35k a year I think this is my best alternative. I would like to run the 20" rim and Mud Grapplers but they would be worn out the first year. I think I will pull the trigger on the Goodyears.

 

Keep us posted on the lift and pics! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

I pulled the trigger on the 20" x 10" rims and 325/60r/20 Pirelli Scorpion ATR's. They are 35.4" tall and have a good appearance. I wanted more of an offroad geared tire, but with my driving habits, I just couldn't justify it. I really think I will like these and I know the size will be awesome. I should have the best of both worlds installed by next week's end.
