don't listen to jake- don't crank it!

Either BL and save parts or do an all outsuspension, 4 or 6 in.

Jake gave him a perfectly good option if he doesn't mind a bit rougher ride an don't want to drop 1k+ on a lift. An the 3" kit is just a bandaid for the upper ball joints. It does nothing for the CV or tierod angles.

good choice man

Yeah i think im gonna be more satisfied with it forsure. Was gonna order the lift kit first and put it in and wait for the rims and tires for a couple months, but don't think i could take how weird it would look. So gonna order my tires first, getting BFG mud terrains KM2 35/12.5/15, cant wait!!

You could always leave the add a leaf out until you get tires an set the front level with the back. Would look like this on 265...

Is that a 6" lift?

 

[bluex]

The only difference in the rough country 4" an 6" lifts is the add a leaf in the rear. That's the rcx lift set at 4". The brackets in the front drop everything 5.25". You actually lower the truck from stock settings at the torsion bars to get 4" of lift. You crank it just slightly for 6".

So if you want the lift now, but can't get tires, leave the aal out set the front level with the rear an drive it. When you're ready for tires throw the aal in the rear crank the front level an throw on your 35's...
