    My buddy says you can crank these trucks up to 3.5". I want to see someone who has done this and know how it drives.

    Couldn't agree more!

    Best bet, get a three inch lift, and add the largest tire you want to deal with.

    Current Setup is Eibach 620lbs Springs on Bilstein 5100's, Dakar leaf pack with Dirt King UCA's. Tires are 285 Wildpeak M/T on Method 701 wheels. RCI Sliders, Front Skid bed rack with Tuff Stuff Roof Top Tent, and US Offroad winch insert bumper with Smittybilt XRC 9.5k winch.
    Originally I put on an OME lift. After some issues with the front shocks, I swapped everything out for the 5100's with Eibach 620lbs springs and kept the Dakar's in the back. From what I have noticed height is still about the same, but it rides a lot better than the OME. After loading the truck down bed full of firewood, rooftop tent, bed rack etc. I have yet to have the back end squat on me. If I had to do it over again I would have gone with the 5100's, Eibach springs, and Dakar's from the beginning. I have been running it for about 7 months now with no issues.

    (Note: I have a winch and bumper insert so you may not need the Eibach 620lbs springs up front)
