4" or 6" lift kit?

[REDHOSS02]

I Need Help Guys! I Was Looking At Getting The Cognito Leveling Kit, But Im Thinking Its Not Gonna Be High Enough For Me! I Dont Know If I Could Get 4 Inches Witha Cognito Leveling Kit And Keys And Still Have A Soft Ride! Tuff Country Has A 4 Inch Lift For About $1,200. BUT I STILL LIKE THE 6 INCH LIFT. POST PICS IF YOU HAVE ANY!

Personally - I like leveled look and 4" lifts. If you want to run bigger than 33s for wheels though, the 6" will look good.

Really personal choice.

I would eventually like to have a 4" lift, but I have to get rid of the 5th wheel I currently have b/c I wouldn't have enough clearance with a lift and I can't imagine hoisting my son into his car seat with a 4" lift. :rofl:

As for which lift - never done one so I can't tell ya what works best.

thanks for the info!

I love my 4" TC lift. One of the best purchases I have made for my truck

Here is a pic of a 4" Cognito lift we did on a Long Bed red 07 Dmax

I like the cognito because of the non-torsion bar drop that is available. Very cool kit, in my opinion.

Gotta love a set of chrome deep dish badlands. Good lookin truck Chad.

 

[REDHOSS02]

That looks good! But i thought it was better to drop the torsion bars (less strain)

Can you run stock wheels with the Cognito or TC lifts? I have 20's but like to throw the stocks on too if I'm going to the track.

i went with the 6" since you need the clearence to run 35's, there is a pic in my photos of it.

This is my 4" TC with 33x12.5's and only about one turn in the TB's. I like the lift because the CV's are in a good place for pulling/drag. I could fit 35's If I crank the bars, and use a 3" block instead of the 2".

 

[REDHOSS02]

Thats a nice truck you got there bud!

The way the kit is setup, it doesn't place anymore strain on the torsion bar at all in my opinion. The way they did the lift, they added a 3rd control arm and mounted the support brackets to the lower control arm.

Let me know what you think.

Dont know for sure on the cognito lifts, but you can't run stock wheels with the T.C. lifts without spacers.

 

[custom8726]

Another advantage to running the 4" T.C. is you get a full 4" drop so your CV angles are always good for the strip/pulls.. The 6" lift only drops the front 4 3/4" so you still need to ajust your torsions for ideal angles. I do like the 6" / 35" combo the best for looks but for looks aswell as function my vote is the 4" / 33" combo...

Custom8726- You have wrong information on running the stock rims with a T.C. lift! I have my M&H drag radials mounted on my stock PYO's and they work perfectly without any mods/spacers (picture below)...

Here is my truck with the 6" RCD kit and 315 Nitto's. It doesn't ride too bad, a bit bumpy at times but better than my old 3/4 ton.

That's good to know. I'll add this to my list of mods.
