That thing looks killer. I just lifted mine with a 4 inch BDS kit and Fox shocks in the rear, and I love how 35s fill out the wheel well. Its a much better combo than 35s and a 6 inch lift IMO. Awesome looking truck man.

No problem, their 14" wide flaps. They do come close with the set of 35"s, but I haven't had any issues with rubbing since the crash bars were removed and I did a little trimming up front.

Thanks man! You will have to post a couple pics once you lift yours. What lift are you going with? The only reason I went with BDS is because of the good reviews I heard on the lift, and the no hassle lifetime warranty they provide. Anything breaks they"ll replace it no questions asked.

Thanks man I think the same thing. 35"s with the 4" lift look awesome as opposed to a 6" with 35"s IMO. If I was to have went with a 6" lift I would have probably ran 37"s, but then with going bigger, the price gets higher. I never went with the fox shocks in the rear but the BDS ones don't actually ride that bad. I still might upgrade in the future though. You should post some pics up of your truck.

That was my exact line of thinking. 37s would require a re-gear and there was no way of getting around it. I still fit in the garage and any parking garages with over 7'6" of clearance with the 4 inch lift. I like the fox shocks because they're quite a bit stiffer than stock, which helps with body roll, but I doubt they're too much different from the BDS ones. I wouldn't want to clutter up your build thread but I have a few good ones I was gonna post on my own thread pretty soon. I think I also have a few on my profile.

Enjoy the truck, if I could get into a 2015 that is exactly what I would be driving. That or maybe a magnetic grey, but I'm just particular to that color.

Thanks! Magnetic grey is nice as well. Here's one that was on the lot when I went to purchase mine. It also has a 4" BDS lift and the same rims as mine.

I think I've settled with a 4" lift and some 35's. It appears to be a common and a safe bet that is less costly than other set ups. I Think Im going to go with BDS. Was originally looking at Rough Country but stumbled across this site and leaning towards BDS because of what you have pointed out.

Default Killer truck!

Picking up my magnetic gray on Monday. Looks like 4" lift with 35" Nitto's on 20x9 Fuel Krank. Any offset on your wheels? Thanks for posting!

If you don't mind me asking, what region of the country are you from? I've only had experience with one dealer who supported my lifted truck, and didn't think it was the end of the world and my warranty that I had larger tires. I have never seen new vehicles on the lot with lifts, tires and wheels like the kind that seem to be abundant wherever you are. It's just unheard of up here.
