Hi

Just wanted to share a photoshoped idea of how I would like my truck to look if lifted...
(Sorry if I'm boring you with the same pic all the time of my truck)
By the way I used Tuff4d's 35'' Toyo tires. (thanks Tuff, hope you don't mind )
Link to tuff4rd gallery

My current truck:
2.5 spacer, 1'' rear leaf, 33''AT toyo, 20'' rims



Photoshoped Lift with 35'' tires:


Now, of course I can't say how much lift I put, all I know is that I think that's how high I would want it in order to make it look like that, no more no less.

So, what do you think about the stance/look?
Any suggestion of what lift should be used?

Tip:
So you can see easier the changes I made, just open the following pics in different tabs or windows and switch between them.

P.S. If the pics are too big, let me know

 

looks like you'd need the 8" Rize lift to get that much wheel well seperation above the tires

I think it would look awesome. especially with that tire/rim combo

 

Holy crap.... that is an awesome photochop job.

 

thanks, ok
Not sure about the 8'' Rize...
If you check Tuff4rd, he is using an RCD 6'' lift and I kind of see more clearence on his truck than my photoshoped version.

I supose we can check by comparing the top of the tire lined up to the top of the front bumper.
My bumper is slightly lower.

reason I say the 8" is because of some test fitting I did

I had about 3-4" of clearance with the 35x12.5x18 Toyo M/T's when the were installed with just my 2.5" leveling kit (no lift)

from your photochop it looks like there would be at least 6" of space above the tire

 

how about 3' body lift?

 

no. i think the 3" body lift is wat he is looking for.

 

I think I have to agree with you Tonka. with the leveling kit and 3" of body lift, I think Giorgio be able to get that spacing he is after.

the spacing on Tuff4dr just doens't look right for only 6" of lift...did he stack his leveling block and do a AAL? or body lift?

 

I see...
A body lift is different from a Lifting kit, right?
I supose those should be the one with blocks installed on the frame.

I understand a leveling kit is used for minor and affordable lifting...
When or why is a body lift used instead of a Lifting kit?
Are those normally cheaper than lifting kits?

thank you all

Giorgio

 

Hmm...

That 3'' body lift option looks very interesting
I have checked 2 sites and those are like 300usd, good price.

I have now found also Sonny's and other trucks with 3'' body lifts..
He uses Performace accessories and 35'' BFGs on stocks
Looks cool, with nice tire clearance


Not sure yet about fitting 35'' MT tires with rims wider than stock rims.

I'll keep researching about body lifts

Now I found out about the 3'' Skyjacker suspension kit..
Which seems kind of a fancier alternative to the spacer which could just give me the same lift as the spacer.., not enough I supose.

any toughts will be apreciated

I'm still searching the forums for more info

EDIT: Nevermind, bad comments, skyjacker 3'' discarded (3'' specifically)

 

Maybe the Rancho 4" lift?

 

seriously!!!!

 

Amazing photoshop!

Looks like a 4" lift to me. Take a look at my pics for wheel/fender spacing:

 

Exactly... Everything about that picture screams real life. Even the curb and the plants around it are right.
