anyone have pictures of 03-04 with a lift?

im going to order a new 04 diesel, crew cab, short bed in black. Would like to do a lift. Noting huge just give it that mean stocky look. I was thinking a 4" suspension and 36" tires if that will work.

Just wondering if anyone has any pictures of new body styles lifted

thanks
Shawn

I believe this link woll show you a 4.5"/2" lift.

Here is mine with 2" spacers and BFG 315/70/17's. The 315's are basically 34.6" diameter.

alltork,

I am a little curious about your lift. I have seen the adds for it and have not seen front coils being included in the kit. After looking at your pictures, I am wondering if it just uses a huge (4-4.5") spacer for the front? Are the control arms any longer than stockers? How is the rear lifted? TIA

Here are a few photo's with the tuff country 4.5" and 35X12.50 tires. I moved these from another post on the new bumper. My tires are on stock wheels and they rub just the tiniest little bit on the control arms. I will have to get some new wheels in the future with about an inch of offset or so. They only rub on a full lock turn and then the rub is almost zero but I do see the control arms are showing a tiny litttle bit of dirt rubbed off on them. I suppose they are fine as is maybe I could solve it with more air in the tire. I do want to get some 36X13.50 tires at some point so I will need new wheels anyway.

erslll, in reply to your questions, tuff country lift comes with new 4.5 inch spacer and set of 4 new longer control arms to put front suspension back to proper specs. tires to not rub from turn to turn. Rear kit includes 2inch spacer and lets truck sit level.

Thanks alltork. Do you, by any chance, know how much longer the new control arms are? What about track bar issues? Does it come with an adjustable unit or just a bracket to relocate it? TIA

That kit also comes with a new drop steering arm and you will need 4 new shocks.

The Bumper was made for me by Buckstop Bumpers in Oregon
