Sounds amazing man!

Make sure that you cover the welds up with some high them paint to stop them from rusting.

Not true. All depends on setup. I have a Borla XR-1 with it dumped before the axle with resonator delete. Sounds amazing and I get compliments often. My wife doesn't complain on road trips from drone, but when you hit the gas you know you are going.

Sounds good!

Thanks man!

I'm having a dilemma in trying to plan. I need some height to the truck and can't decide if I want a Boss coil over level, a Zone 4" lift, or a Zone 6" lift. I was hoping to run 20x12 Hostile Gauntlets, but seems even with a 6" you can't run those with 35's without removing crash bars which I don't intend to do. I'm pretty set on the Gauntlets because they're not common. I know I can get them in a 9" or 10" wide, so they're not out, just kinda sad I can't run 12's. Haha. Main thing is my reasoning in my head.

Level: Functional, sporty, large tires
4" lift: Moderately functional, sporty, more offset
6" lift: not very functional, not very sporty (handling wise), seems to not be any more offset than 4", but can take 37" tires.

Seems the 4" is my go to, but I almost KNOW that I'll want the 6"... The Zone lifts are around $1300 new, and the Boss kit is like $900. Not a massive difference in price either... Decisions decisions...

Take install into consideration too.

Install on the boss coilovers is easy and you can do it yourself if you have minimal skill.

When you install any lift they charge you a rediculous price, in Canada lifts cost you about $1000/inch. (Coilover=$120 for alignment, 4"=$4000 for lift install and alignment, 6"=$6000 for lift install and alignment)

Not sure what it's like in the States versus Canada.

Coils id for sure do myself. Lift id pay someone. When I looked for my last truck I wanna say install on an 8" was around $750-$800, not terrible. I'm leaning towards a 4" because you can get a little crazier than the 6", but I kinda like the stuffed look of 35's under a level. Really I'm pretty much between a level and a lift... I guess I could always level and then lift down the road if I felt so inclined. Going from lifted to leveled is not as easy.

I say go 4" IF it doesn't put you in a financial bind. You know I have 35's and I still have my crash bars. Now, I did swap the fronts from side to side, but I don't rub. You just have to get rims without an aggressive offset. Mine are +18 and that's about as aggressive as you can go. But I believe, and I could be wrong, that a lift pulls your wheels in a bit more than a level so you may be able to go a bit more aggressive with the offset to achieve the same stance.

My current thoughts are a level spacer and 20x10's with a negative 19 with 33x12.5's, then later on lift and go to 35's. I think I can make that fit, my buddy is likely going to run that setup so I'll see how his looks. Haha. So much could change between now and tax return time. I may opt to go 20x9 with 35's, or just lift and go 20x10 with 35's. I wanted to run a 20x12, but can't find anyone that's done it even on a 6" without hacking out crash bars.

Soooo many decisions haha.
