    Okay I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but I really need some straight answers before I drop like 4 grand on this truck.

    I have a 2013 double cab 4x4 and I'm in the process of picking a lift. I want to lift the truck 6 inches with a pro comp stage 1 or rough country lift. I know that these lifts with also level the truck, but I'm looking to raise the front end at least 1 or 1.5 inches on top of the 6 inch lift. I know that most people on here don't like the "bro/cali" lean, but I personally love the look and it will help me clear the big ass 35s so they wont rub the cab mount or wheel well. So to the point. In order to achieve this extra lift in the front could I run just the bilsteins and crank them up a bit or bilsteins with a longer coil. I don't feel like dropping the extra coin for coilovers unless I absolutely have to. If there is another way to get this extra inch please let me know.

    Thanks,
    Dylan

    stacking lifts is a bad idea. but at least you're stacking correctly (if there is such a term).

    short answer: yah you could

    why don't you just run smaller blocks in the rear? gets your bro lean without extra parts

    I'd say just get the cheapest drop bracket you can, then replace the shocks, coils, and leafs with something like Fox, King, or Icon.

    I did this but put on ICONs. I love my truck but if I could do it over, I'd save the money from DB and Icons and go SAS. I dislike my DB more and more everyday.

    Yes you can set the bilsteins @ .85 or you can set at 0 and just add a set of ome 883 coils that will give you the extra 1-1.5 lift. I have a db lift and set my 5100's @ .85 for a lil extra lift as well.
