Haven't seen many 4" lifts, I would say go 6" or a 3" level

Yeah would love to hear some opinions im getting a 4" lift next month and idk what brand to go yet. You guys think 4" would make 33's look small?

Rough Country makes a great lift. And yes 33"s will look really small. I would go with a 35. I have a buddy with 33"s on the rough country lift and they look too small.

I went with a level instead of a lift and regret it. I'd be willing to bet that after 6 months of driving on a 4" lift...you'd wished you went 6"

I'll take that bet. What does 2" matter, except that my 4" lift clears the garage door still. I'd rather not park it outside with all the rain and thieves and stuff. It was supposed to be a 4" lift, but measured out at 5, then the tires made it 6+, if you measure the top of the cab.

If you get a 2.5 or 3 inch level does it decrease your payload a ton? I feel like if you bring only the front up then the back would sag a lot when you put weight in it. If you put blocks in the back would that fix the problem? Thanks
