I was wondering what everybody thought about this?
3inch Body Lift
3inch Suspension Lift
That is what I going to end up with around March...

Would 35 fit under?
Should I change my gears? how much does it cost?

Sorry About all the question kinda new to this.

Justin

If it's a 4x4 a 3" body lift will fit 33"'s and I wouldn't recommend putting a suspension lift on unless you enjoy fixing sh*t a lot!

If it's a 2wd you need to talk to TallQuad. There is a 3" fabtech lift to put on it to get it to regular 4x4 height and then you can add another 3" body lift (which would be equal to a reg. 4x4 with a body lift)...

hope that helped

Yes it is a 4X4 ClubCab
So a suspension lift and body lift won't work together.
Is there any sus. Lift that is around 4.5 or 6?

Thanks

There are suspension lifts available but none are reliable.

Wait to see what people say about the new lift comming out from Rancho.

3" from Rancho + a Body lift would get you 35's..

But you'll wear out your Torsion bars fairly quickly.

Knobby , I don`t mean to step on any toes here , but I don`t see why you keep saying 35s will wear out your torsion bars. The torsion bars support the weight of the truck , regardless of the wheel and tire combo..the suspension will only move so far no matter how big or little of a tire you have.

Maybe if you were doing a baja run and really working the suspension every day it might make a difference , but not normal everyday , occasional off-road use.

I had 38`s on my 99 Dak for a year and a half before I sold it and never had any issues with the torsion bars.

just my 2cents
