Default Opinion and Pictures on my possible modifications

So I am in high school and just got shut down on lifting or even leveling my dads 2010 lariat. I got to thinking buy a 04-6 xlt 4x4 crew, plain in black or white. Possibly I am thinking about putting a 4 inch lift with 35's. I like the rough country systems and a lift from them is 1299. Any opinions and any pics on a truck that has a 4 inch lift with 35's. I am open to other ideas.

Spend an extra $100 and get the 6" Trust me, you would like it in the long run. Also, if you went with 35s, I would regear depending on whether you get 3.55 gears, or 3.73 gears.

What gear could I get that I would not have to re gear. How much would re gearing cost.

Try the search feature for 4" lift pics... I know one member here named kingranch4life has a nice screw with a 4" lift and 35s...

3:73 gears should be fine to run 35's with. If you get a 3:55 then a re-gear to 4:10 or 4:11 you will have better power to the ground without sacrificing good highway drive ability. 4:56 might be way better off the line but will certainly eat into your highway cruising speeds. Gears are expensive, $800 to $1200 to get em done normally.

Yea he has the Rancho 4" kit which has been discontinued since January of this year...The Rancho 4" actually measures out to giving you close to 5.5" of lift when its on the truck.
