    4.5 with 33” don’t do it! If u want 33” than don’t do 4.5 lift. 4.5 with 35 looks the best(but just me). 35/12.50r20 but not Nitto RG this tire only come with 12 ply r heavy bad ride. My nitto TG gets better mpg

    Pretty sure anything over 4” does. But hell, there are guys on this site that’re running 37’s on 2-3” lift, so the drop bracket thing never appealed to me.

    Bilstein 6112 and 295/70-18. I'd start with that. I'm not sure how tall my garage is but mine only had about Two inches of clearance with a 2.5 level and 295's

    @krazyTundra Ok I just went out and measured. The top of the cab sits at about 81” or so and the top of my garage is about 83” or so. Looks like it will fit bit it will be tight. I wish I could pull it in soon to check but my house remodel is owning my garage at the moment.

    No, I skipped out on them. I figured I’ll get it all setup and if I want to make any other changes I can swap them out.

    feeling anxious to see result..... From above pic: doesnt seem like you're willing to drive it into the garage huh? ahaha..
    Did you mean the frame itself with the trim and raised floor. Mine is exact size as yours. Totally appreciate the effort and info. Is your driveway on a slope? Take a pic to see if you can tell. Again, thank u for the help/info.

    Totally agreed. That BDS cross bar is just off the chain!

    @TheNickky, thanks brother for all the pics/info. Hows the ride so far? I so need one soon ahah. Any issue with the TSS sensor yet - did you have to recalibrate? Mine already starting to act up in the rain but nothing serious yet. Wonder if adding the lift will void the warranty esp if its not being done by the dealership. Regardless my goal now is to find a reputable shop in Houston to install.

    No problem man! Anytime! The ride is actually really nice. Sometimes I forget it’s lifted! The TSS to be honest I have been having issues since day 1 and it has never worked for me. I’m not in any rush to take it over just yet because I really don’t care about it. But.... right before I swap over to the TRD Pro grill I’ll get it all calibrated from the dealer.

    I agree with this. I thought about a 4 inch fabtech lift, but then realized with 35’s it won’t actually fit in my garage. Also, you will want to measure your garage from the lowest point. The black bar that is attached to the chain that pulls the garage door up is usually the lowest part and is generally 6 inches lower than the opening.

    I went with OEM king coilovers set at 2.75” and I have 33’s and still looks too small. So can’t imagine what a 4” lift and 33’s would look like, but to each their own, just my $0.02
