    Hey guys. I have a 2013 DC 4x4 and i put a 3" rough country suspension lift on awhile back. Its blocked in the back and has the spacers in the front. I put some 275x65x18 Duratraks all the way around and even at 32" on the tires i had to remove the mud flaps in the front so it wouldnt rub. Ideally i was wanting to run 285's or as close to a 33 as i can but thats not gonna happen with this lift i guess. So for my question, what are my options to get a little more lift so i can fit 33's all the way around? Can i do something like adding an AAL or a bigger block or air bags in the rear and then putting some adjustible shocks in the front or better yet putting some OME 885 coil spings in the front? I really dont want to have to take this lift off and go buy a complete new one if i dont have to. Anyone got any ideas? What are my options?

    My first initial thought on this was to put some OME 885's in the front and then an actual 3" block in the rear or just an AAL.

    You are already at you max at 3". The only way to go bigger is a drop bracket lift kit which are $$$$$$$.

    Plenty of guys run 33's with a 3" lift, but like Buzzard said you are gonna need to cut some fender away and most likely do a cab mount chop.

    More lift isn't the answer.

    I would go with a db lift and sell your other lift to help offset the cost. You can go with a good 4" such as rcd bds, zone or rough country which price wise rough country is the cheapest just under 1k right now

    No worries, man. Ask what you must ha. I was being sincere actually. It's hard to convey tone via interwebs.

    To make larger tires fit I do not think more lift is going to be your answer. Cmc and some trimming and pounding will do much more for you. Look around at some build threads with the size tires you want and I think you'll find that it's just a must to do it right. Also, look a little bit into the geometry of your suspension as you go higher. You're not necessarily eliminating rub as soon as you flex it out. So in short, more lift is not the answer.

    Just giving you my honest assessment and opinion, man.
