    Has anyone installed this kit on a 2016? What else do you need to upgrade for a 4inch lift?

    Why do you need that much lift? Not giving you a hard time, just curious.. Where do you wheel?

    I got some gnarly wheelin spots over here in CT and the 4 inch would allow for the clearance I need to not bottom out or ride the ground on my tranny

    This. You could stack two 6” lifts for a 12” for just a little more than 4” with a discount coupon. Cheaper per inch, which is all that matters.


    Suck it 2” lifts

    If you’re doing some “gnarly” wheeling I would highly suggest going with something different. That spaced lift will not be optimal. A proper 3” lift should be more than enough to suffice your needs. Most people on here who are avid overlanders only run 3” or even less. Just food for thought. The spacer lift serves more of street princess performance, but it’s your money so do as you desire.

    So typical YouTube celeb? It's a good thing people only seen two minutes of that truck. I do wonder how well they shift when people start stabbing on wheel and tire combos that big.

    Lift it as high as you want :thumbsup:. TW dirt road riders are quick to tell you how uncapable you’ll make your truck. I don’t recall the guys name but some of the most aggressive off roading I’ve seen on this site was a guy with a GASP :eek: 6” lift. Even in that thread with multiple pics of dudes truck doing some sketchy stuff other guys felt compelled to let him know how unqualified his truck was :facepalm::D:D:D

    Anything’s possible with whatever, it’s just forewarning him that he can potentially damage components by doing stuff that they aren’t meant for. It’s just a matter of how deep the wallet goes.

    The 2inch coils? And AAL? An deff not gonna go with the rough country read some bad reviews on it and how it dpesnt change the ground clearance and im better with 3 inch and to upgrade the upper and lower control arms. To gain more travel.

    Yes, you can switch out the stock leaf pack for an aftermarket leaf pack too for better performance and more lift. If you’re going to be getting squirrelly off road you really can’t go wrong with anything that isn’t a spacer lift and getting some proper upper control arms. If you can’t to change both the upper and lower control arms you might as well invest in a long travel kit and it’ll be putting you up there.
