4 inch lift
« on: November 10, 2019, 08:45:39 PM »
I am going with a 4 inch lift on my k10 longbed, but not sure if I want to put 33s or 35s. Anything helps....

My preference would be 32s.  I think 33s will barely clear.  I'm just guessing that your rear end ratio is 3.72?  You'll be too high geared with 35s.  It'll feel like your engine is taking a while to get into it's power band.

If you are going all spring lift, 33"s minimum otherwise it will look goofy.

power band will depend on your gearing, but like vile suggested you have to go with 33s or higher. with a 4" you can fit 35s

If you have the money , Alcan spring is the best riding spring you can buy

33s will fit with no lift on stock rally wheels

I read up on Alcan they have been going down the drain recently according to the internet. Any other recommendations for good quality lift springs? I had old man emu on my Toyota and they are awesome. To bad they don’t make springs for our trucks.
