Help: Looking for 4" Lift Pics

bonzai18 · 04-20-2008, 09:06 AM

Hey guys, I've nearly got the green light on approval from the old lady for it, but I want to see some 4" lifts that may be out there. Also, what size tired your running or were with it.

2wd or 4wd? Spindle lift, prg performance 4" pkg., or 4" rancho kit which is really closer to a 6" lift"

Sorry. 2WD Spindle Kit. I'm trying to see if that is how I'm going to go. I also have the 2" lvl kit already.

4" spindles, SAW c/o shocks
Rear Deaver min-pak
295/70/R17 Nitto T/G's on a 17"x8.5" wheel...

Here's a few of mine. I'm 4x4 with the PRG Performance Lift, but it's about similar to the results you'll get with the Spindle Lift as well.

Here's my Titan with 4" Spindles and 35"s.

How do the tires fit? Much rubbing?

They don't rub at all, not at full flex, nor while going about as fast as my stock springs will allow through the whoops on trails. I did have to trim my front bumper a little, but you can't even tell, and my rims are 10" wide so that doesn't help either. If you'd like pics of where I trimmed the bumper, let me know and I'll go take a few real quick.

I would like to see the pics of what you trimmed. Also what is your backspacing or offset on those wheels.

I have no idea what the backspacing or offset is, I've never taken them off to measure it, and I didn't know the whole backspacing/offset thing was so important on these trucks when I got the lift and tires. But, I'll go take a few pics real quick.

Here ya go. See how the part I circled is cut at an angle? Your truck will just have the bumper coming straight down right there. It took me like 5 minutes to do both sides. I live on a dirt road so my truck is usually dusty so all I did was: turn the tires both ways, then there was a clear mark of where I needed to trim it because it rubbed all the dust off, then I took a tape measure, measured up the same distance on each side of the inside edge of the bumper, marked it, then drew a straight line with a permanent marker angled from the mark on the top inside edge of the bumper that I had just made to the bottom outside corner of the bumper, then I took a Razor Knife and cut it, it took a few tries to get it just right because I had to cut higher than I originally planned because of the angle I had to cut it at to make it look like the truck came that way. But now you can't even tell, it looks like that's how the bumper was made, and my tires clear just fine. I've seen how some other people trimmed their's since I did mine, and I'm glad I thought to do it the way I did, some people did some hack jobs which isn't something I wanted on my, at the time, brand new truck.
