    All blacked out, Mbrp Off Road Exhaust, K&N intake Fog Lights Mod, Kenwood Headunit, Rockford Fosgate Speakers, 10 inch Kicker Comp Subwoofer, Bilstein 5100's, OME 884's with toytec spacers -3.5" 2 inch aal and 2 inch block 255/85r16 BFG KM2's Brush Guard with 100W lights, Blue LEDs inside
    I'm planning on taking my truck to a shop and having my Bilstein 5100's and OME 884's bumped up to 0.85, installing SPC UCA's, installing a 1-1.5 inch body lift with either a 1.5 leaf spring or a 1 inch block in the rear. So this should be about a 4-4.5 inch none DB suspension lift. My question is what size tire should I run? Does anyone with an RCD 4.5 inch lift run 295/75r16's? I am considering buying black TRD 17 inch wheels and getting 305/70r17's or keeping my current painted black rims and buying the super swamper's in 34/10.5r16's but idk if they will fit. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what the biggest size tire I can run with a 4 inch lift is without having to do a lot of trimming. Thanks

    I fit a 285/75R16 with 4" lift with no trimming. Anything bigger than that and you'll have to trim moar.

    Okay so i just got a quote to have my 5100's bumped up to 0.85. They said $75 per shock so $150 to have them bumped up to 0.85 with my OME 884's so I should be getting about 3 inches of lift if I have it done. Does this sound reasonable or should I try doing it myself with a rented Autozone spring compressor??

    Plus I can't decide if I want to run a 1, 1.5, or 2 inch 4crawler body lift. What do you guys recommend? I know with a 1 or 1.5 inch body lift I should be fine but with a 2 inch will I have to get a new drive shaft or anything else? Any help/experiences with this kind of setup would be greatly appreciated because I don't want to mess up my truck by getting too much of a body lift and it causing problems.

    Thanks man! I'm considering a 2 inch body lift from 4crawler and they come with the steering column extension, radiator drop bracket, and gas tank bracket. I just don't know if 2 inches will cause my wires and brake/abs lines to be too tight
