I would put on a 6" lift, otherwise I wouldn't do it.

Having a 4” lift will limit you to 35’s. I have a 6.5 inch lift and my 37’s still rub if I turn the wheel all the way to one side. I could put spacers on but then the tires would stick out too far so I will just deal with a larger turning radius.

37's and a 4" lift works fine.

People seem to love the look of there wheels hanging 4-5" past the fender... "look at me I have big wheels"...

Stock offset and it works fine. I have over 200k on a 4" lift and 37's.

no, it just limits you to a normal looking offset on your wheels...

Chelsea's Excursion... 4" pickup lift (6" Excursion)





My F-250 with a 4" RevTek lift and 37's...

I wasnt going to add to this but here I go. I have an 8'' lift I was running 36'' tires and mine rubbed all over the place. I took a hill a little fast while I had the wheel cut and folded my fender. My flares cover it, untill the corners of them went bye bye too. Its the with you have to look at not just the height. My tires were 14.5 wide. I have to get tires now so Im going bigger and wider. I bought a set of 20x12 DC-2 and Im gonna throw a set of 38x15.5s on her and see what happens
Pictures are just because.... we all like them
