Default Those with 4" Lift Kit Post Pics and Feedback

I am seriously debating jumping up from my leveled with 5100 bilsteins to a 4" lift kit. I currently am running a 275/65/20 Nitto Terra Grappler and not sure if this will look to narrow with more of a lift. Anyone here running this type of setup? I also use the truck for work and get in the bed a lot. How much higher is the bed compared to where I am at now?

I have the Rancho 4in Lift. I'm 6'5 with the Rancho 4in(It's more like 5.25 in the front and 4.5 in the back) and my door sill for the drivers side is about at my waist. I just lift a cheek to get in my truck. I am running LT305/65/17 and 17x9s. I am going to upgrade to 35s in the future and will gain about another 1 of lift with that.

The stock block that comes from the factory is 1.25. The lift block with my Rancho kit is 4.5. So you gain about 3.25 inches in the back. I had a leveling kit previous to me in the front so I gained about 3.25 in the front also.

I think the tires will look fine. Only issue with looks would be the wheels being so tucked, in addition to the relatively narrow tires. I have 275/60/20 tires, but aftermarket wheels with less backspacing, and I think the set-up would look fine with a small lift.

Here's some squared pictures of mine with 295/65R20's for comparison, yours will be roughly 1" shorter and 1" skinnier. I'm 5'8" and have to jump in, no cheek lifting for me lol.

Luckily the wheels I have are 0 offset so that won't be an issue. Just don't want it to look funny. I'll try and get some pics up showing the way it looks now.

Ope, sorry. I just assumed you had stock 20s for some reason. I think it will look fine then. It would look better with wider tires, sure, but I definitely wouldn't replace the tires until they needed replacing.

Front-on and 45 degree shots would be good, just to get an idea of the sort of stance it has.
