    Is this a thing?
    I know many of y’all don’t like the “big lifts” and smaller lifts are arguably better, but does anybody run a “big lift” and do medium-level wheeling with it?

    I wheel the shit out of my 6" fabtech kit all over Colorado.

    I didn't research, and I bought the truck lifted before I realized what a DB lift was. It came on a basic Fabtech DB set up with big blocks in the back and spacers in the front. I intended to wheel it, so I took that shit off and built it right.

    I'm now on full length Fox resi coil overs from BDS, SPC uppers, 4.56 gears, and a full custom leaf pack out back.

    Don't let people convince you they're un-wheelable. They may not be ideal, but if you do a DB lift right you can beat on it plenty hard.

    Hell yeah, this is what I was hoping to hear. I’m looking at the 6” BDS kit with fox shocks. I’m not going to wheel crazy hard, no rock crawling or deep mud for me. I love the look of the bigger lift and I want to get wheels with a decent offset, so a 6” would be awesome. Thanks for the good feedback/advice!:thumbsup::mudding::cheers:

    Custom leaf pack? Do you have any more details on that? I don't know what kind of leaf pack i would need to get to go with the lift.

    I had mine made by a member on here who no longer offers them. If you call Alcan Springs and tell them what you need they can make you a leaf pack though
