This is my 250. Previous owner said that it was a 6" lift. I my opinion the 33's look alittle small on the truck.

33's


35's


One with both

Can fit 33's with no lift so it will probably look a bit off with a 6" lift.

I want to do 35's but I've heard that I would need gearing I have 3.55 is 35's really that bad on stock axles and gears?

Do you plan on regearing at some point?

The truck will move... Just a bit slower than before. If drag racing isn't in your future you'll be fine. If you don't like how it runs you can regear later on - as long as that was planned from the get go.

I think a 6" lift with 33s will look completely gay. But if your low on dough (like most of us) Than buying the lift and then saving up for the tires is a good idea. Really you only need 4" lift for 35's. It's what I have now and I think it looks better than 6inchs with even 35s.

I have 35's with 3.55 gear it's fine. Gotta shift out of overdrive if wanting to keep speed on big hills though. I think with the 5 speed it's enough gear
