    Is there a noticeable difference between a 3 inch and a 4 inch lift? My local auto shop only sells four inch lifts for tacos. I really like the look of a 3 inch lift with 33s, and have not seen many 4 inch lifts with 33s. It would be much easier for me to get a 4 inch lift. However I still really like the 3 inch lift. Opinions?

    So, it's basically an overpriced body lift. Looks like shit and has no off road performance gain

    I intend to off-road a considerable amount, nothing too crazy but still some decent off-road exposure. I go hunting, biking, and skiing a lot and I'm on some pretty interesting roads. I want a kit that performs well off-road and on road (not too rough). Hopefully not WAY too expensive but I'm willing to spend what it will take to get a good kit. I know this is asking a lot.. But any feedback would be much appreciated
