Rough country lifts

Looking for size compareson. I'm wondering if I wanna do a 6" with 37's or the 4" with 35's. Itd be amazing to see one with a person standing next to it at about 6 feet tall.

Mike

Re: Rough country lifts

I don't have any pictures of me standing next to my truck, but I have a 6" RC lift with 35" tires. I wish I had gone with 37's tho. I'm 6'1" and the truck bed comes up to my shoulders.

Re: Rough country lifts

It seems the Rough country kits are higher then what they really advertise..

After seeing the 6" i may go with a 4". I don't wanna be hopping way up everyday!

Re: Rough country lifts

I have a buddy with an 4" lift and 35's and he said it clears the tires perfect.

Re: Rough country lifts

Tires are not what i'm worried about. I'm just not wanting to jump up everytime i get in and out of the bed.

Re: Rough country lifts

Dont have any pics of me standing next to it but I have 6" with 37's I'm 6,3 and can hop right in was a little easier with the 35's but not much IMHO I think the 37's look way better.

Here it is now with the 37x13.50x22 Toyo MTs on 22x12 Welds



here it is with 35's

Re: Rough country lifts

I have a rough country 4 inch lift and I am planning on running 35's on it. Right now I just have 31's on it and those look way out of place. I really have to take some pics of it. Matt

I'd like to see pictures of your 4" lift and 31's. I'm planning on lifting mine 4" with some narrow not-too-tall tires.

Thanks.
