Help me choose a Suspension lift for my Ex.

I own an 04 Eddie and sit on 315/75/16 Nittos under it. It clears ok now but some rub in a tight turn... Nothing to crazy lift, just a good lift to clear the tires...

Thanks,Slug-O

Not sure if the V&B code springs might help, if you want to clear those 35s a 4 or 4.5 inch lift should be plenty of room to clear those tires.

I have a 6inch lift on mine and it's clears my 35s just fine...(keep in mind a 2wd truck is 2 inches lower than a 4wd truck)

I forgot to say that my truck is an 4WD. A 5 to 6" lift is fine... Just which brand and no I will not be doing it myself.. There are shops in town that do this...

I did a V/C f-250 spring swap and added a Tough Country Leveling kit - Love it. Came out taller than I expected.
