im looking into getting a suspension lift for my 05 single cab FX4. I have the rough country 2.5" leveling kit with 285/70/17 BFG at ko's with my oem wheels. I want to stay with my oem wheels, but want a lift and 35's. what suspension lifts can you run oem wheels.

i've looked into the skyjacker 3in. lift, but will that add onto my leveling kit or will the leveling kit have to be taken out? so ultimately would that only give me an extra half an inch in the front than with just the leveling kit?

i've also looked into the rancho 4in. kit. will the leveling kit also come out on that lift? so ultimately giving me an extra 1.5" in the front than with just the leveling kit?

Also with these 2 lifts, what will happen to the rear of my truck. will there be blocks or aal's?

sorry for all the questions. any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

With the Skyjacker 3 in is just a set of replacement coils and springs. You cannot use your existing leveling kit with this. The 4in Rancho is a great kit and one I am about to buy. I believe you can use your leveling kit with it and get about 6 inches of lift. If your planning on sticking with the 35in tires the rancho 4in kit will give you plenty of clearence w/o the leveling kit. IMO, buy the rancho and sell the leveling kit to someone looking to do their first upgrade. Good luck!

 

i was just reading another forum and they said i cannot use my stock 17" rims with the 4" lift. is this true?

 

true u can't use the stock 17. u would need the 18
