[IMG][/IMG]My truck has a 8in lift and 385's. Everyone says"dont go higher" and I agree. I think once ya get into the 10" and 40's its for looks rather than use. When huntin season comes around im already wondering how im gona get my elk in the back of the truck. LOL

your going to have steering issues if you go over 10in. im running an 8.5in lift (6.5in springs with 2in hanger/shackle) had 38x15.5s that rubbed

it you have 8in springs you can go hanger/shackles i think you can get a 4-5in hanger/shackle lift
