OK guys I need some good opinions on what Lift to put on a Crew Cab 1998 12v with a Manual tranny. Whould also like to see a couple of pictures of trucks with around a 4-6in lift on 33s

 

Repeat after me... The best lift is no lift, the best lift is no lift, the....

 

33's will fit on a stock truck.....it'll look like a pregnant roller skate with 33" tires and 4" of lift.

Is it a mall crawler or are you gonna beat on it?

 

I run 33" Truxxus on my stock height truck. I am looking for a 2" lift right now so I can go 35" next. But I don't get any rub at all on the 33".

 

Agreed, get a leveling kit and you can go up to 35's, thats what I did (pics in my Gallary). And you'll save a couple grand, which you could put towards some other bomb's

 

Yeah, that's what I do too. Also, the savings is more like a FEW grand, since IMO, putting a lift on your 4x4 will wind up forcing you to spend another couple thousand dollars to fix problems that arise as a result.

 

Skyjacker 4.5" lift, 315/75/16 nitto terra grapplers, 16x10 mickey thompson wheels. So far it's been a good lift. I did end up having to replace the track bar (but who doesn't) and put ladder bars on the rear to keep the axle wrap under control (dang add-a-leafs). The ride is no worse than stock and the truck handles very flat (AggiePhil can attest to that one). I've wheeled it a couple of times and it flexes really nicely and the tires don't rub at all no matter how much flex is in the suspension.

 

I Put A 3 Inch Tuff Country Lift On Mine. The Truck Lifted 3 Inches In The Front And 1.5 Inches In The Rear. 35's Fit Easily And Look Like They Fit The Truck. The Only Problem Is The U-joint At The Carrier Occasionally Needs Replaced.

 

mx572000,
What does tuff country do on the rear to lift it 3"? Taller blocks or diffrent spring packs.

 

rear add a leafs they come with a leaf and bolt and the only down side is the coil spacer for the front they do not use a longer spring.
