so ive gone and done it!!!!!

so after debating for about a year now about how much higher i wanted to go on my truck i finally ordered one. i will be adding a 4" lift on top of my 3.5" shackles.... so ill be at a total of 7.5" of lift... ill be picking up the kit tomorrow but i prob wont install it for a while because i thing that lift will look too high for my 35" tires right now... itll have to wait for a couple of months until i can come up with the funds to get some 37's on 20....my current rim size is 17x8.. if i put 36" tires on those do you think they would look funny? im trying to do this as cheap as possible...

That will be sweet sittin another 4" higher. It prolly won't look too bad with 36's on it but I would go to a 38 I it was me. You should be able to clear those fine as well. Definately make sure to put up pics when it's all done.

I think that 36's might look a little small, I would go with a 37 or 38.

quick question as I am just curious why people do this to their trucks..
- what is the point of lifting a truck that high? Is it just for show? Seems that the rear diff and such are always only 1-2 ft off of the ground gaining you minimal "ground clearance".

Congrats on the purchase Raul!!! I'm just curious why so many lift their trucks

well some of us just like high trucks... as for me since i sell the products on my truck the more better looking it is the more i get people looking at my truck... i got my business stickers on her so that is good for business... also its a tax right off for me im not looking for ground clearance... i don't really off road her anymore, i got my jeep for that.... yup im thinking of going 37's but i think my 17"x8.5 rims will look to small so at a minimum i will go 18x9 or 20x10 if i can afford it....
