Default Lift question

Okay so I got my tax return and I told myself I wouldnt be stupid with it, so to avoid getting engaged im spending it on my truck .

1) I want a 4" (i dont want too big) but I already have a 2.5 level on it, anything I can just add to make it a 4? or will I have to buy a full 4" kit from rough country or fabtech or something

2) which company makes a 4" that keeps a good ride quality?

3) any pics of a 4" with 33" tires? I want to know if mine would look goofy and I should get 35s.......

thanks

Zone and rough country make 4" kits. Also there are a couple other kits out there around that size I think.

Rough country's 4" is a hundred bucks less than the 6". Might as well go 6" if you are doing suspension. You need 35s imo

I second the 35's. Im running the Rancho 4" kit with a 1" lift spacer and some lift shackels, and the 35's dont even seem that big anymore.

well i,v been checking lifts out alot lately,and it seems that for the money a 6 inch lift makes sence,sence a 4 inch is allmost the same price,so either stay with what you got or go 6 inch with 35s or 37s thats the biggest tire you can run with 6inch,thats with rough country,and with a 6inch lift you have to do some miner cutting and drill two holes,its not as bad as it sounds lol,it would take a full days labour forsure,it would be an easy 1000 to get it done at a gradge,the kit it self is roughly 2000 to 2500
