Tuff Country 4" lift???

I am currently in the middle of saving up money for a 4" lift on my truck to fit 33x12.5 tires, i am leaning towards the Tuff Country lift because of the price. Is this a bad idea or a good idea. btw going to put 20x12 Fuel Mavericks, 33x12.5x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Have no expierence with them but I strongly beilieve you get what you pay for. Now, it will do what it says and lift your truck. If you plan to do anymore later just save up and do it now to save the trouble.

 

Totally agree, I think its just a good choice for my budget. Also haven't heard anything bad about it, only good things.

 

Also if anyone knows of a better lift around the $500-1000 range for a 4 inch lift let me know.

 

And why 4"?

 

For the 33x12.5's, i am not opposed to a 3 inch i just don't want to have to trim to fit the tires.

 

Bad idea. It's only a (overpriced) spacer lift. http://www.tuffcountry.com/wp-content/uploads/instructions/54905.pdf
It will give you any more space for the bigger tires, because uptravel is not limited.

I'd take Rough Country 4" in this price category: http://www.roughcountry.com/toyota-suspension-lift-kit-746-20.html

You can always upgrade it later. The crossmember/spindle lift gives real space for the bigger tires, maintaining health suspension and steering geometry.
But you have to do the CMC anyway if planning to install 33x12.50" tires.

 

okay sweet thanks for the response, btw what makes the rc 4" better? also CMC is what again?

 

CMC=cab mount chop
Stick with a mid travel, stay away from drop bracket. my opinion

 

Rough Country sucks. Dont got for cheap. Hit up Toytec , Wheelers or Headstrong Offroad for help and better otions

 

Second that

 

.. RC is a spacer lift as well....

 

Please, compare them:

Yeah, spacers, but you can get rid of them. Love my Rough Country with FOX coilovers/shocks.

 

okay so im going with, maxtrac 4" spindles, bilstein 5100s and eiback springs (or whatever their called), bilstein 5100s for the rear shocks as well and a tuff country add a leaf spring.anybody want to critique this setup.

 

I am happy to read this considering where this thread started.

Consider a progressive 3 leaf AAL if your not hauling heavy loads. It will ride better on the rear.

 

well thank you buddy, the light just shined to my soul and i truly saw the light.but what would you prefer for the aal that your refering too.
