Default Lift kit Question

How much of a lift do you guys think I shoud get if I went with these 35" Toyo tires with 18" wheels.




I was thinking a 3" or 4" would be good.

yup i would agree. just a word of caution the terraflex 3" kit gives a fair bit more than 3" so i think that would be the best. but driveshafts might be needed soon after install. the teraflex stuff is great kit and there are many happy people running it. good choice.

35" tires will fit with 2,5" lift and you could add 1" body lift, that way you won't need new driveshafts...

No that's total with the 35s. So if you get 1.5" from the 35s over my stock 32s then I got about 4 3/4 in the front and about 3 1/2" in the back from the lift.

2.5 and up... the TF 3" would be perfect.

Nope, we haven't seperated 2dr/4dr kits yet.

Sorry, think he was adding in tire height too, now that I re-read it.
