Default 3-4in lift with 33's

I have a RC2.5lift but I kinda want to go higher how could I do this with still keeping my RC lift? Also, what it would look like with 33's or 35's on it with a bigger lift.

2.5" is perfect for 35"


You want to get a higher lift but keep your lift? I'm not sure I understand...?


You could user spacers (a budget boost) with your current lift to gain an inch or two.

You could get a body lift to gain an inch.

Or you could just leave it be and throw on 35"s with proper backspacing, maybe some minor trimming, maybe not.


Although I don't have any pictures, I can tell you there will be a large gap between the tire and the fender with a higher lift and small tires. Imagine stock tires with your 2.5" lift. 33" tires and a 4.5" lift would look similar.

If you are just looking for height go for the touch country budget boost its affordable and should give you more than enough height that you are looking for and if you were to have more than 3-4 inches of clearance I would suggest 35s or 37s. 33s would look to small.

My susp/lift is completely different now, but here's a pic when I had my RC 2.5 with 3/4 spacer rear, 1/2 spacer front with 33's.

Go with 35's regardless of adding extra height. You'll get more height/clearance from the bigger tires anyway. Trust me, I've had a 3 1/2" lift with aggressive 33's and it looked....bad, haha. Like roller skates dude....too small for a 4 door. Maybe could pull if off with a 2 door. Can't tell what you have, I'm on my iPhone. Unless you can...just downloaded this 'sonabitch, gonna check it out.
