4 inch lift

Hey everyone i have a 2013 DCSB. Sport and Im about to get a 4 inch lift and want to know if there is any problem fitting a 295/70r17.

 

You should be fine...
















...as long as you have a sawzall, big effing hammer, angle grinder and can weld.
Welcome to TW

 

You will get more clearance with a 3" lift

 

Thanks and does anyone have any photos of a 4 inch lift with 295's

 

What will the primary use and function of the lift be?

 

As stated above, your issue with fitting 295s isn't with how much lift you have, a 3" lift will give you enough tire to fender clearance. Your problem would be figuring out the correct backspacing on your wheel to keep the tire from rubbing on the inner fenderwell and cab mounts. A 4" lift would actually make the problem worse because as you extend your upper and lower control arms, you bring the entire hub slightly closer to those obstructions.

 

Im really just doing it for looks as i dont do a lot of off roading now, but the reason i say a 4 inch lift is because i found one with tuff country that comes with the uca's and everything for less than i could buy a 3 inch and uca's. For rims i plan on keeping the stock ones for now and just getting some spacers.

 

@Rock Lobster

There's a reason those are cheaper; cheaper quality, crappy ride and the list goes on and on.

Buy once, cry once.

Let me know your budget and I can recommend you something better that you will be happy with.

 

I am trying to stay under 1500 but thats with tires

 

5100's all around with an AAL in the rear for under 2.5" and you won't need UCA's

But that's on your budget. I give you 6 months or less with "junk country" lift before pure shopping around for something better. Lifting isn't a cheap feat, there's a right way to do it and tuff country, rough country and pro comp aren't it.

 

What is a really good lift u would recommend that is 3 inch or higher? Im not against saving up and going with the best.

 

Full OME kit with new leaf pack and light racing UCAs

 

Ok l will look into it and thanks for the help

 

Sure thing. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@DrFunker doesn't call me "Liftman" for nothing..

 

If i keep the stock rims whats the best size of tire to go with if i get the full ome lift

 

Do you want to cut and trim or no?

 

Dont matter

 

No trim - 265/75

Minor to major trimming - 285/75+

 

Thanks again

 

My tires cost more than your budget stated above, and I opted for a less expensive lift. Set your priorities, do your research, then spend your money. Do this right the first time - listen to @geekhouse23

There's a thread somewhere with all the basic info about lifting these trucks. There are many others which are less consolidated, but have great info (with a few rogue opinions sprinkled in)
