    I'm looking to lift my 13 DCLB. When I bought it, it came with air bags in the rear. I need some advice on what I would need to do to get ito a 4" suspension lift in the truck.

    Best advice is keep it to a 2” lift and actually add suspension travel or don’t bother. Cheers!

    The question isn't how much lift do you want. The question is how much down-travel do you want. If you use blocks and springs to achive 4 inches lift you'll have basically zero down travel and it will handle like crap

    2" really is the sweet spot on these trucks

    Do some reading around the suspension section, tons of threads on this exact topic already..

    4" lift is drop-bracket kit territory. Plenty of good options are available that will maintain your downtravel (such as BDS), just be aware all such kits will require a frame alteration if your truck is 4x4 (which you didn't mention if it is). If 2WD, then Maxtrac spindle lift.
