Default Opinions on a 4 inch lift for my truck

I have a 2010 4x4 on 20x12s wrapped in 33x12.5 Falken M/Ts. Attached are two pictures, The rubbing is pretty bad, like I knew it would be, so I want to get a 4 inch rough country lift to get rid of some of the rubbing but don't wanna make the tires look too small. What are y'alls opinions on the rough country lift itself on the 4 inch on 33s? Thanks.

I don’t think it would look terrible. IMO the four inch lift is the perfect amount although I’d run 35s but it won’t look bad with 33s.
Have you considered just going with a level?

I have a 2007, 4in RC lift and I'm running 35's. Your truck the way it looks now, will look good with the lift.

I think the 4" lift would look good with that wheel/tire setup.

Look at how much space is above those tires. You'll be able to fit your entire head in there and look left to right. I have 34s/4'' and sometimes think it looks like too much. Depends on what you like/don't like. Keep in mind, I also have an AAL in the back.

Ultimately I think you'll like going to the 4 inch. You can always fit 35s in it in the future without issue whenever you wear out those 33s if you want.

No offense, just my opinion, 33s look outta place on a 4" lift. Go 35x12.5s

One more thing with 33 compared to 35. My mileage took absolutely no hit at all with the lift. I still get 14-15 around town and 17-18 highway. I am sure with 35's I would take a good hit.

Your truck would probably look fine with a 4" lift. Judging by the tires you've got in the original post OP, I'd say you're already in the 10 ply tire zone so I don't think there'd be a huge weight difference or change in mileage if you were to eventually go up to 35".

I personally think 33" could look a little skimpy on a 4" lift -- but you're in a more unique situation because your tires are really stretched onto your wide rims.

I'm hardly ever a fan of that stretched look or wheel that are wide -- but I think your truck looks pretty decent. I like the color scheming you've done.

Any word on how much you've trimmed already though? I'm trying to find out if there's potentially more aggressive trimming you could do. If there is -- you might be able to save yourself a few thousand dineros.
