Default Question

If I got a 4in pro comp lift couldn't I just crank up t bars and get bigger rear blocks to make it say as high as the 6in pro comp?

If you haven't cranked the bars yet measure from the center of the hub up to the fender lip, rumor has it the safe distance is 24 1/2". So, if your at say 22" then you have 2 1-2 to go. I don't know what that particular lift is comprised of but if it comes with 4" rear blocks you could go taller but I would probably opt for an add-a-leaf for the extra 2". The taller the block the more chance for axle wrap. It really all depends on how the original lift is put together. But it is doable.
I just did my t-bar crank 2 1/2" and am waiting on my new 3" rear blocks to arrive to replace the factory 2".

I believe 24.25" is what you're looking for.

If you mean the 4'' pro comp kit with torsion drop down brackets and all, its basically a 6'' kit. Idk why they call it a 4'', but its not like a rancho, you get plenty of height out of it. So yes you could crank the torsions and have more lift. Just to warn you though, your 33s are going to look small on a full procomp lift kit.

Oops you are correct, thank you sir. I was thinking I had room to crank mine 2 1/2 " and I must have put that 1/2" where the 1/4" belongs.
