I’m seriously debating on whether to put this 4 in lift on my truck or to just do a 1.75 in lift in front to level it and fit 35x12.50 tires. I sorta want to run 37in tires and I believe this 4 in lift would be the route to go. With this being said understand I don’t live anywhere near any places I can Baja drive my truck. So a higher center of gravity wouldn’t bother me much. I just have to decide if I want 35s or 37s,, if 37s then I’m going to do this lift

This truck looks absolutely menacing in person, it's huge!

Clearly doesn't understand the Raptor.....
Lift = Bad mojo

What will it do to my truck that’s bad? If I decide to put 37s on it and I’m not Baja raceing it this seems like best way to clear those big 37s, the lifts doesn’t put anything in any bind or nothing. So what will it hurt? I’ve had lifted trucks before and they were just fine. I’m trying to understand what other than center of gravity will it hurt

I think a lot of you read what someone else has stated on here and just make your minds up off of that and repeat it.

I may not want my truck that big, but to fit 37s and I only use my truck for getting in woods for hunting and fishing, no Baja running here. Seems like it wouldn’t be a horrible idea since I’m not planning on resaleing my truck ever. I probably will just do 35s and not need it. But if I did 37s I think for my situation this wouldn’t be a bad idea

Don't let RDFTS' comments bother you. Per your comment, everybody has different reasons for why they bought the Raptor and what they would like to do with it, so have at it. Adding a lift and bigger tires may be taking a step backward from it's intended purpose, but it will add some additional ground clearance which could be beneficial to you. I think a lift with bigger tires would look pretty legit.

Good to see CJ Pony Parts posting here. Please don't shit in this thread if you have nothing but anti-lift comments.

I probably want go the 37 in tire way, but if I do I will definitely be putting this lift on my truck. It would limit its high speed off reading capabilities definitely but it would clear them 37s nicely and get thru the rust and holes I deal with getting back in my hunting locations. Only thing is the 18 inch wheel and offset you must use. Probably limited to what is out there

So if I put method con6 that are
18x9 18/5.75 How would they compare to the wheel size recommended for this lift the 18x9 5 backspacing ? I really need to know if the method 18s will stick out farther and how much or stick out less far and how much? I don’t understand what the 18 is in front of the 18/5.75

Gen1 4" lift here. I love it.
