    Does anyone make a coilover for a 4" lift
    Example to be paired with a bds or rough country 4" lift
    Like what they do with the 6" lifts?

    You can use a bds or rough country lift , and use a coilover set stock height to get better dampening but no additional lift , or Bilstein 5100 to have a little better shock than factory shop with stock coil springs ,

    What are you trying to achieve? How do you want to use this truck? What size tires are you going to run?

    Well I like doing trails but nothing crazy. I mainly want clearance because I am running 33's on right now with a 3" space 2" block and I don't want to have to do any cutting or trimming and I like the clearance a 4" and higher lift have with 33's.

    You'll still have to CMC. The lift doesn't make the wheel wells larger.

    Just go mid-travel and do the necessary cutting you already have to do with or without the lift.

    But at 4" or higher you're tires aren't as close to the wheel wells no?

    You do realize how far out of whack your Cv angles and other driveline geometry will be with a lift over 3"? Ehhh.... everything I've seen and read here advises against that kind of thing.

    4"-6" are drop bracket lifts so CV angles won't be bad.

    With a DB lift too?

    What I was asking if there is a coilover that works with a 4" DB lift made by roughy country or bds for example

    I know fox makes one for the bds 6" lift
    I just haven't seen something for a 4" or if that even exists

    Fox discontinued the ones I was trying to get 883-02-044. They have more travel than mid-travel coil overs. I measured, and the travel is usable with a 4" drop bracket lift.

    When I really get ready to pull the trigger I want to reach out to Fox and see if I can make magic happen.

    I believe the Fox part number is for the 2nd gen RCD 4.5" kit, which would work perfect for the 3rd gen, but there wasn't much interest in it from 2nd gen owners which is why it was discontinued.
