im thinkin about goin with the skyjacker 6" suspension lift. Is that a good lift?

 

It's not terrible, but certainly not one of the best. Just an el-cheapo setup to get the truck in the air. All depends how much you want to spend...

 

I have a 6" skyjacker lift, its no icon or rize lift. As long as you put a good shocks on with it like bilsteins, it rides good and performs good offroad. If i could do it over i would go w/ the icon 7" lift w/ 4 link up front

 

 

Looks good!

I'm really wanting to get some 20 x 10 BMF SOTA's with the death metal finish and a new set of 35x13.5x20 tires (unsure of what to get yet).

 

Thanks man! I like the wheels a lot , but the tires suck. Can't wait for new ones. They handle well but, I never heard a tire make such a high pitch tone before. I think I'm going to get more of a street/ all terrain tire this time. This truck is not going to see the mud like my old one did. I learned my lesson with that one. Has 37in tires but, I was thinking 35in tires this time. I was worried that they will look like low profile tires though. I did have to trim a little so these didn't rub, but they do just a slight bit if I am turning and there is a hop up on something.

 

Personally I like the 8 hole aluminum ford wheels, and i also like the 08-10 8 slash and 8 spoke wheels. I dont see many aftermarket wheels i like. As for tires, Cooper ATRs are about the best tire on the market. They dont get worn out in 20k miles, they have super grip, great off road, and the other tires that are decent are the Dunlop Fierces. as long as you rotate the fierces youll have good life out of them.

as for lifting, 4 inch is about the highest i would like to have a solid front axle truck. Anything above that your looking at adding traction bars, expensive dual front stabilizers etc etc.

 

I have a leveling kit on mine on a set of 285-75-16's and my truck is 6'10" to the crown of the roof, pulls in but cant close the door on my 7' garage.
