Thinking about a Lift for "Grafted in"



Thinking about a lift on this. What would 3inch with 33's look like? I'm thinking of something mild. Anybody have pictures of thier rigs with that configuration?

Re: Thinking about a Lift for "Grafted in"

I think 3" with 33"s would look pretty good. I am running about 2" lift with 33"s and looks pretty good and rides decent will get an occasional rub when I am out driving in the mountains though lol.

Re: Thinking about a Lift for "Grafted in"

3inch looks nice, but a 6 inch and 35's and a spring over on the fifth wheel would look badass on such a big truck, myself it'd be 12inch and another truck to tow, you can't build a custom this unique and well and stop short of the full meal deal I think it looks great, but now it just needs a little rust repair, 12inch suspension lift, 2 inch body lift, 44's on some shiny MT classic II's and a spread in Petersen's. Regarldess, it's cool!
