6" RCX is on its way! help me decide 6"vs. 9" on 35s

[95obschevy]

Hey everyone, I have a 6" rough country kit on its way to my house. My truck is already body lifted 3". Im torn weather I should pull the BL off or leave it on for a total lift height of 9". Either way I have no intentions of running a tire larger than 35". What would you run??

I would leave it at 6" with no BL, since your not trying to run larger than 35"s. IMHO

Last truck of mine had a 5" lift (3" BL, 2" blocks rear and 2" Keys front), and with 35's it looked just right. The BL isn't hurting anything, and who doesn't want more lift? I would keep the BL and go with 38's but if you don't want to regear 35 is the biggest you should go. A word of advice, if you have 3.23's, it will be a dog with 35's...my truck had highway gears and it sucked. 3.73's are just fine, but anything lower and it will tear the trans up going in and out of overdrive at 70 MPH on the freeway.

Here is mine with a RCX 6 and 3 body lift on 35 inch Toyos. I'm going to take the body lift off though.

Since you're not going bigger than 35's, yank the BL off. It's what I would do at least....

:O hunter when did you do that??

Hunter, I have to say it again, the more I see your truck the better it looks with the 9" on 35" combo

the only thing that wouldn't sit well with me would be the hanging torsion bars AND the hanging frame.

EDIT: btw, I'm going to be facing this dilemma myself, I'm set on either 4" + 3" so that my angles are perfect, or 6" so that it looks better, either way 35" is the biggest tire I'll go right now

I like the height, but I can't get over how much frame is hanging down. I think it'll look a lot better when I get the body lift off and my winch bumper on!!!

It's an old school warn bumper, my dad is going to weld a skid plate under it like the TAG bumper. But I don't want the grill guard.
