Perfect 4" Lift

[Norad]

So all.. I am looking for the perfect 4" lift. I want the most suspension travel and ruggedness. I want to run 35"s and I want the wheels to travel so I can 4wheel and trail ride but at the same time use my truck as a mule. What do you all think??? I "off road" 20% of the time and am on the road the rest so road manners are important. I was thinking about a superlift... What do you all think????

Easy, get a Icon 4.5" lift and for the iceing on the cake add their 4 link kit. Everything else is second best..IMO

I got my lift as Les Schwab. Absolutely PERFECT IMO. Tuff Country 5'' lift, Actually 4.5 but they call it 5''. Handles just like stock! Excellent quality lift.

35's on 18's:

If your gonna "use" it,..like actually going off-road...DR/ICON....no question.

If your gonna stay on the road,...then it doesn't matter all that much,...if ride quality isn't an issue

Articulation is going to come from ridding the stock radius arms. that's #1 priority.But you have to get a Eye/Socket style. You're never going to flex worth a poop with stock arms. 2nd is remove the Sway bar, or use quick discos. 4" pitman arm, coils, bump stop brackets and new shocks. and longer brake lines. Brand: doesn't matter. just as long as you have the above items.

What he said,....but I would DEFINITELY hook the sway bar back up while your on the road.....

I took mine off to test it's mannerism on the road,....never again,...cornering is a whole new experience without sway bars...lol

that bad w/out sways huh? I removed them off of my Toyota and never noticed they were gone.

Yeah...It was a frightening...these trucks weigh tooooo much to drive on the road without sway bars.

I took a corner that I take all the time, at the same speed I normally take it,...I thought I was going to put it on it's lid......lol

If you are going to be in any off camber situations 4" is plenty. It is no fun to be in a truck with 8"s on a sidehill. Pucker factor goes up considerably. Mudbogging, pavment pounder then bigger is great. Just my opinion.
