    I am trying to find a true 3.5 or 4 in lift for around a thousand dollars. Fabtech has one but its for a pre runner. I would like to have a lift that I can use 33x11.50 tires on my truck. If anybody has any suggestions it would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Your cv's will bind after 3".
    Stay at 2.5" and you won't have issues.

    Trim for tires if it rubs.

    If you want a 4" lift you will need a db lift.

    2.5 or 3" lift with a bit of trimming and beating down the pinch weld will allow for 33x11.5 tires. I suggest OME or Toytec for the "around a thousand dollars" mark.

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    No one makes a 33x11.5 tire...unless your referring to a 285/75..


    But yes, no real 4'' lift out there unless you get a drop bracket lift.

    You can fit the tires easy with just some light trimming and hammering on a 2.5-3'' lift
