Ya I'm not a big fan of body lifts either, but that's why everyone has their own truck and their own "look" that they're going for. To each their own. Either way, ya gotta admire all the hard work everyone here knows goes into all of these trucks

Re: i want to see all LIFTED 4X4's

I run 4" lift with 35s and,yeah,I like the look better down as close as possible to the tires...not lanky. That said,it is recommended to run a 6" lift with 35s,so it won't look like small tires at all. It's a proper combination. In fact,with 4" lift and 35s you have to watch flexing...at least with 10" wheels you do.

My old '84 truck I had years ago and my '91 Suburban I had until more recently. 4" lift,12.50/35s,and 10 wheels:
