Lift vs. non lift

[chino]

Wanted to post a comparison, let’s see the leveled/lifted trucks

Mine is the silver on the left with 3.5 lift and 285/65/20 ridge grapplers

I really feel like thats how they start out. Id like to have 3” more on top of the 3.5”.

3.5 vs stock

Any noticeable decrease in power or mileage since the lift?

You mean how they should start out? I’m a bit confused.

But yes a 6 inch lift would be nice.
I just wasn’t ready to do any cutting or irreversible modifications on a month old truck I’ll wait until my warranty runs out haha

No decrease in power, with 3.92's anyway. Probably took a hit in mileage, but I only had 35 miles on it when I installed the lift

I've got a Jeep with a lift. That's enough. I'm happy with the stock suspension truck.

3.5 is what a 4x4 should be stock.

I'm sure Zone will come out with a 1.5" body lift pretty soon. Add that to a 3.5" suspension and you're at 5 inches no cutting and completely reversible. Did the same thing on my last truck to avoid cutting anything for warranty purposes. This was the truck I traded in and it had a 1.5" body and 3.5" suspension. Tires are 33x12.50 ridge grapplers. when I traded it in I pulled everything off and traded it stock since none of the parts are worth anything at trade in.

There's no cutting to my knowledge on a 6 inch lift it's all bolt up, shocks, springs ect... The 3.5 is nice tho. I like mine. My truck looks Girthy on 35s

On the Rough Country 6” the crossmember mount gets cut.

On the Rough Country 6” the crossmember mount gets cut.

All bracket lifts require the front cross member to be cut on 4wd in order to lower the front diff

My truck will spend nearly all of its life on the road. I want the ride to be optimized for that environment. I have no real need for a lift kit. I can get a couple of inches of body clearance with the air suspension if I ever need it.
