which one which one

considering on putting a lift on my truck in my sig
what are the pros and cons of a 4 inch compared to a 6 inch lift?
I would think 35" tires would be big enough should it? maybe pics to give me some ideas?
and I should be fine with me 4:10 gears and the NV4500 right?

Thanks
Tanner

Seems to me second gen forum would work too..

what year 12V motor is it?

And in answer to your questions, 35's and 410s will be pretty nice on the highway, similar to 315s and 410s

Therefore, lift questions don't fit anywhere but in this forum in which it was moved to.

I had a '74 F250 once upon a time, and it was plenty high enough to fit 35's.

35's and 4.10's are a great combo. I have a 4.5" lift on my 98 2500. Any more and it would look too big for the 35's. Any less and the tires would look too big. I would suggest going with the 4". Just my .02 worth.

On that 92, 35s should fit easily with the 4" lift. My buddy has a 92 f-250 diesel with 33s on it stock, he just pushed out the bumper some. I believe that if you could find a nice leveling kit, 35s would fit, but I dont know about rubbing though. Hes planning on going to a 4" lift and 35s, unless he can find a leveling kit.
