4" with factory width arms? yes, kind of, but no. If you can get the 4" your suspension will be topped out and the truck will ride like absolute shite.

 

I would suggest reading the suspension sticky. It will answer everything x 60.

 

Read the suspension sticky.

TL;DR: No. 2.5-3" is the limit with stock width control arms.

 

Thanks Guys I will check the sticky.

That is why I said that i am considering to improve the UCA's. my main points are:

1- The 6" lift will be too much for my 285-70-R17 tires. I don't want to put bigger tires
2- The 2.5"lift kit I have now seems to be still too low. Tires are still rubbing a little even with some trimming.
3- I don't really need a Titan Swap since I don't do any off road.

Anyways, I will read the sticky and will revert if needed.

Thanks a lot.

1- The 6” lift won’t change much in terms of what size tires you can fit, plus you’d need new wheels & thus new tires because it requires 18” rims to clear the tie-rod or spindles or something.
2- Tires that size will still rub in the same places with the 6” lift, likely worse if the aftermarket 18” wheels you choose have a different offset.

 

Don’t even think about it. You will regret every dollar spent doing it, the most that you can practically go without titan swap is 2 inches, unless you want to break your whole suspension apart

 

What exactly are you referring to?

 

All of your questions & more can be answered by reading through this thread that someone worked very hard to put together. I know it’s older, but all of the front-end options & theories discussed still apply. The rear is slightly different, but the front end hasn’t changed since 2005.

You shouldn't rub with your tires with the RC kit. I've run 33's before and they didn't rub. My wheels had a +18 offset.

Maybe because is not a Pro 4x?

 

Yes, stock are +30

 

Dobinsons sells a 4” ext travel kit for the D41, the MAX SAFE LIFT is 3.6” front, anything above 2” you must change upper control arms. Over 3.5” lift a titan swap is advised. This comes from many conversations with Dobinsons, Z1 and a couple shops.

 

I will check this. Thank you

 

If you don't offroad, why are you lifting the truck????

 

If you don’t race a car on the track, why do you need to boost the horsepower?

 

Correct. And if you read my very first post here I don’t like the 6” lift because in my opinion is too much room for my tires. It looks like disproportional

 

My point is it doesn’t matter if it’s 1.5” spacers, a 6” drop bracket, or anywhere in between, it doesn’t matter in terms of ground clearance unless you can throw bigger tires on it. Go much beyond 32” tires and they will generally rub in the same places regardless of how much lift you’ve got.

 

It actually does, because after making the wrong choice he will be so disappointed that he will wish more people were more honest about it, as a matter of fact, a lot of lift kits will make your vehicle drive so badly that you will wish you didn’t waste all this money, a very small proportion of the kits will make your vehicle drive better than stock, I suggest you should go watch shock surplus on YouTube they are the professionals when it comes to these stuff, ask them for a specific recommendation they will gladly dive deep into it and give you a specific recommendation tailored for you, I can tell you with 90% certainty that they will tell you to go the titan swap route if that’s where you want to end up

 

thank you Sir. As my initial post says, I wanted recommendations about how to lift my truck and why. I don’t want to make a mistake as you explained above. And I truly appreciate your comments. What I don’t want to discuss here is why am I am doing it if I don’t do any off-road, that is not the point here.

 

A reminder that the O.P. did not ask opinions on why they are lifting their truck. I haven't deleted any comments, but I will if need be going forward.

 

Yep, the term "mall crawler" wouldn't exist if there weren't folks who wanted one. OP has explained that he wants a truck that looks properly proportioned to his own height.

 

exactly!

 

The personal wants/needs of a lift are not as intuitive as many would/might want to think. Thus the stickie - and why it's linked so many times on this forum. It's not an easy read because there are many aspects to know/understand/comprehend first - before choosing the best path to achieve one's desired results.

 

Totally agree with you on that I actually run 6112/5160s with ome hd leaf pack and I couldn’t be happier, I was saying that for the amount of lift He wanted to go with that’s the only choice that can make his vehicle drive better

 

Once again, keep this on topic. The O.P. did not ask opinions of why they want to lift their truck nor opinions if it is the right truck. I'll delete any comment that skews in this direction.
