    future: lift with 33's homemade front/rear bumper and much much more
    Hello everyone!

    I have a 2008 4 cylinder access cab. I want to put a 6 inch lift on it and 35 inch tires. My only problem is that the 4 cyl will not be able to roll the 35's around colorado. I was wonder what new gears i should put in it for highway and around town? or should i stick with 33's if that doesnt look too goofy. I have been creeping around here for a few month now and just decided to post.

    thanks in advance :cheers:

    If i were you i would stay away from the 6 inch lift. I would go with 3 inch liftmidtravel setup you will get way better suspension performance. But if you wantto mall crawl and crush parking block go with the 6 inch lift.

    i am going to be using it for off road. i had a jeep wrangler before this and i do A LOT!! of 4 wheeling. So you say a 3 inch midtravel? will that clear 33's easily and also what are some good midtravel suspensions.

    oh for wheeling 3 inch lift for sure. ext travel coil over with come camburg or total chaos upper controll arms with a new leaf pack for the rear. to fit 33s you will need to trim

    Definitely avoid the DB if you plan on wheeling.
