anyone with 6" lift and 35" tires? need help making up my mind...

can't decide how much to lift my truck...3,4 or 6" I would like to stay with 35" tires but I don't know if it would look funny with 6" of lift...so anyone with a 3 to 6" of lift and 35" tires could you post some pics of your truck and what lift did you use.

Thanks!

I've got a 4'' superlift, spring front block rear, and 35's. I think 4" fits perfect with 35's. 6 and 35s seems like it leaves almost a little too much of a gap there, and I do use my truck everyday, and with the 4" its not a problem at all.

If you want to see different configurations, the best place I found is the "trucktoyz installs" gallery. You can select the year, make, model, lift height, and tire size to narrow your search. Here is the link:

Enjoy!

SD lift

Hey I'll post some pics this week of my 2006 F-350, I just got a rough country 3" lift, which came with coil springs, arm drop brackets, redesigned track bar arm also comes with rear blocks and u-bolts and all 4 shocks. I jus got the front on today after work. I'm going to use 18x10 wheels with 35x12.50-18's. I got the kit off ebay which was taking offers and got it for $425. From what I measured it seem front is almost 4".

your truck looks great ziggy! I like the stance! what size wheels are those and what is the backspacing on them?

I definatly want to see pics of the Rough Country 3" lift! I have been looking into that kit just for the price...looks like a good kit and I haven't heard anything bad about them.

I will be driving this truck daily and dirt bikes in the back on the weekends or a toyhauler behind it on trips...

Thanks, the wheels are 16s, I'll check the back spacing for you tomorrow, I'm thinking of getting a different set of wheels though, these were on the truck when I got it, they are OK but I'd like something a little different. and an inch or so wider.

I go there sometimes just to look at all the cool Super Duties... it's like therapy! Ha! Did you notice that there was about a 4 to 1 ratio of 4" lifts to 7" lifts? The 4" lift is very popular because it is practical. Let us know what you decide to install and post pics!

I have seen Cory's truck and it does look great with that set up on it now if you had 35s and a 6 in lift IMHO the tires wouldn't fill up the fender well now 37s would fill up the well some more but you'd need to look into regearing for the best performance.
