    Driving a 2021 6c. I’ve done my research and would love some validation on the forums. Thinking about getting a bilstien
    3” 2” suspension lift, with 17-9 285/75. This is my first truck lift, would love to hear all criticism. Good proportions, ect.

    Its a good setup for an affordable lift kit. I'm also looking for lift kits as well.

    You might have to do a cab mount chop so be aware of that. If you don't want to worry about the cab mounts, go with a 265/70/17 (its a 32 inch tire)

    Unless you absolutely need it, I would stay away. I lifted my 15 and regretted it instantly. Might look cool "bro" but fuel economy tanks, rides rougher, handling tanks, resale arguably goes down, more stress on driveline components, etc.

    Just my 2 cents.

    fuel economy and resale value being the biggest. Ride quality would really depend on the kit
