Default 4" lift with 35's on 20x10 wheels

Does anyone on here have a 4" suspension lift with 35x12.50 tires on a 10" wide wheel? I'm about ready to order my lift components this week and I've been wanting to do a 6" lift with 35x12.50x20 on 10" wheels. My wife on the other hand thinks a 4" is enough. Problem is, I don't think the tire/wheel will work with a 4" without lots of cutting which I don't want to do.

Does anyone on here have that same setup they could share pics of? I don't really like the look of the 9" wheel as far as the lip is concerned. I thought I had all of this figured out, but don't want to have the wife mad at me.

I had a little tire rub at 4" but not bad. I would go 6" with 35s. This is my new one with 6.5" Mcgauhy and 35s

Did you have to cut or trim? My wife's afraid that the 6" will make the truck unusable. A few years ago I had a 2005 f-250 lifted 5". She did like it when I had it. I think with 6" I'll still fit in some parking garages.

I think I just had to cut the black valance up front. Nothing was done to the back. It will work ok on street use but 6" is the way to go if you want a 10 wide wheel. 6" is the perfect setup. I ended up buying the 6" lift spacers for the front later on. Here are the pics after it went up to 6" with a side view of the 20x10 wide -24 mm

Wish my wife thought 4 inches was enough and 6 inches would not be unusable!

Does your truck still fit into the garage with the 4" lift? I leaning towards a 4" lift as I want to garage mine every night and I'm sure a 6" won't go with the standard 7' header.

It wont. I have a 6 inch RC lift with 35 / 12.5 / 18 and sits at right about 7 foot 1-2 inches tall total.

Order the 6" and don't tell her. And if she ever does ask, just say they sent the wrong spacers And it will fit in the garage , but just barley as I park mine in a 7' garage with a 6" on 35's I got about an 1.5" of clearance

That's good to see. She has pretty much told me to get what I want. I hardly ever park in a public garage, and we had our house built with 8' doors.
