3" lift w/ 33" tires or 6" lift w/ 35" tires

Stop hatin' the plow brackets!

 

Yes, we need someone to grade the center of the two tracks from time to time.

 

did any DB measurements go up yet?

 

do the 3" on 33" like everyones saying better performance better stance. dont go over a 17" wheel id recommend 16s although im partial to the old school if your putting mud tires on a truck it should be mostly tire. if you go with a huge rim and (cough) low profile mud tires.. your just screaming to anyone who knows what theyre looking at that your truck is for looks only.
im about to put a 3" lift on my truck here in a week or so and eventually 33" or 34" with new wheels. but right now im running stock height with 32" mud terrains on stock wheels, still get good performance offroad and never had an issue at all with rubbing. now lift it 3" and go to 33" i cant see there being too much of an issue rubbing. but it kinda depends on your backspacing.. etc. bottom line less hassle better results 3" lift with 33"s

 

My old pic w/ measurements is out there somewhere. I guess I should put the measurements side-by-side with my new setup

 

Here the 6" one

 

wow
that's awesome, actually

 

now I'm going to have to go measure my truck but from the looks of it the 6" lift is only about half an inch more clearance than my set up

 

I got 15" to the front diff and 11ish at the rear diff. Running 3" lift on 295/75/16

 

That is really cool, somebody should start a thread just to post different measurements for different set-ups.

 

Then you owe me money!

I do what I.want! ( I used to have one )

 

and he also tubbed his fenderwell

 

I got 14" even to the front skid.

32's and 2.5" lift.

 

39's aren't difficult. I run them

 

I've had them both! 3" with 33" tires and 6" with 35" tires!

Take it from me the best set up for wheeling is 6" lift with 33" tires!

If you'd like to know why? Search my older posts, and I've explained it already!

Good Luck!

 

so what made u switch to a 3"? i know u wheeled the 6" well.

 

Few life changes led to it. Also the high cog always made me really nervous on those off camber situations. It just worked out better being lower.
