Am I sending too hard?

Been wondering about lift/tires as well. I figure the lift is in place to fit bigger tires, the tires give you actual ground clearance from the lowest points, but going from stock 31 to 33’s would only give 1” extra clearance…is it worth it?

 

Yes

 

2-3” lift, with quality uca, plus 33” tires will give you 4+” of clearance and better articulation which is huge.

 

It’s punishment for overusing send it

 

"Worth it" is for you to decide based on your uses. It makes things WAY easier for sure. Also makes your approach and departure angles better and allows better flex which keeps the wheels in contact with the ground for better traction.

 

You are mistaken. Tires are the only way he is getting more clearance. 1" more as he stated.

 

Not entirely true you will get better clearance on your frame with any kind if lift and IFS not so much on solid axles without tires.

 

I wasn’t asking a question, thanks though.

 

And yet still you are mistaken.

 

Why is that the case? OP is in a TRD OR, so no factory lift, wouldn’t a lift kit provide actual clearance gain?

I understand the difference between extended travel and not, etc but it’s hard to argue that you won’t gain ground clearance or breakover angles regardless IMO.

I’ve seen this and it correctly argues that a lift isn’t a panacea to off-road performance — but it never argues that a lift provides ground clearance (it specifically acknowledges that it does at 3:58).

 

Nope.

Just send it!

I didn’t post the video in response to your post.

 

Ah, misread poster names. Posting without coffee!

Thanks.

 

Nice video.
Show me where adding a 6" lift or any lift is gaining any clearance of your rear diff. Or does that not count as clearance?

Cool, so instead of hitting anything with your skids let it get your pumpkin.

Any kind, body lift and puck lifts.... I'll wait

 

my truck has more clearance with king ext, stage 3 icon rxt leafs and 33.4” tires than stock….not sure how else to explain it…it’s like magic

 

I don’t have any advice.
But hats off to you for taking a new truck and actually wheeling it.

I bought my truck used, it had dents in it. So I didn’t have to worry about “road rash”.

 

Yeah same. I was hitting the skid on all kinds of rocks. After the bigger tires and fox mid travel lift… not so much. I would rather hit the rear diff then the front delicate crap.
