Default FabTech Lift

Ok guys thinking about biting the bullet and lifting the truck 6inch. Any advice this is a daily driver. How big of a tire can I throw under it? Should I put a 3in body in addition? VA law is 28in in from and 30 in the back.

What do you plan on doing with the truck other than driving it daily??? I would think with a daily driver you might want to stick with 35's because of the cost of tires...

Then 37's it is... Also, think ahead, money may not be that tight now but if you plan on owning this rig for abanother 20-30k miles you will be looking to buy new tires then... Check out OGTrror's truck, I think he has 37's but with an 8 inch lift IIRC...

Hey I'm in VA too and the law is actually 22" front and rear with passenger tags. No exceptions. With truck tags then you can go the 28 and 30. I found out the hard way but now have truck tags.

6" lift and 35" tires looks good all day long. If you go with a 37" your really losing power unless you regear which is another $1600..
