    New to the forum, looking for inputs on if I should run the 4.5 or 7 inch bds coilover lift on my 16 crew.

    I have a set of 20x10 -18 fuels with a 35 toyo mud terrains with a here waiting for me to pick between the 2.

    Part of me thinks the 4.5 will be cleaner set up while another part of me says just go bigger for the few hundred extra. Any input would be appreciated thanks guys

    Wouldn't the 7 ride better with shackles instead of the block?

    OP, you will be very surprised at how comfortable the ride is on 6 and 7 inch lifts..

    My 79 year old father climbed into my truck and said " this thing rides like a car "

    I'd go 4.5 if it were me, 35's will look more proportional that way.

    See this is where I'm always going back and fourth on the added wheel well gap on a 7 kinda looks off sometimes, maybe my my pocket flares will make it look more proportional, I dunno if 37s would be a good idea

    That's a definite possibility! If I were in your shoes and going for a 7" lift, I'd have to go with 37's.

    37"s and a regear to 4:88s. Might as well toss in an Auburn Gear LSD!
