New and have a few questions!!

First off what are all you lifting your rigs with?? It seems like alot of yall are getting monster lift and I'm liking the way it looks! So if you could just put what you have, what size tires, and if you are running a stock engine!!

Depends on why your using it for. Is it a off road only truck or are you going to be driving it on a regular basis.

Everything is a chain reaction, the higher you go the more stuff you have to correct.

 

Off road only: do what you want. go high but, you have to plan on fixing the steering, possibly the sway bar, these things add up cost wise.

 

My truck is a 8.5 inch lift with SOA. Hind sight, way to high.

My rig is a DD, if I was to do it over I would do a 4-6 inch lift , bushwacker flat flares. and still run 35's.

At 8 inches it is pushing the limits of the stck steering, and the other steering options could cause legal issues on the road, like using hiem joints. Or doing a full axle swap to get a true crossover steering setup.

Thanks for responding, so this truck isn't going to be a daily driver and I want to beable to put at the least 40's. The problem I'm having is I don't find any lifts made for the comanches big enough to fit the tires. I'm going to be mainly mudding so I don't need the extra clearance around the fenders and tires and if I do Ill just put smaller tires on when I do some climbing. I see on these forums people using lifts that are made for rubicons and other trucks but how do I know which one to get and have it match up? This is my first lift just need good advice!

40s? damn you wanna go big. That might not be the best idea since itll raise COG a lot. I know Rustys makes a 9" long arm kit. I would have to imagine 38s would be fairly easy to clear with that lift on. If you don't want to buy a kit you could part it together, might make it easier, but those parts are most likely harder to come by. Most guys tend to stop going higher that 6 to keep the center of gravity lower, which is better for all wheeling. The difference between 40s and 37s is only about an inch or so of clearance and lots of money. With tires that big, youll also have to spend money to upgrade axles and gears to turn the big rubbers. Good luck with your build :thumbsup:
