Does anyone have pictures of their rig with a 6" lift?

Re: Does anyone have pictures of their rig with a 6\" lift?

My webshots has pics of my truck with 5" and 35's. The newer pics are 5" and the older pics are 2.5". The link will be at the bottom of this post. "My K5"

6" and 37's should be fine. I don't see any problems with running 37's, th350, and 4.56's. Should work out ok.

Right around 6" with 37's.

A th350 with a shift kit will be plenty strong as long as you install that 60 and 14ff with the 4.56's. Without the lower gears, your power and durability of engine/transmission will suffer.

6" lift w/33's on my old rig.
4.56 with the 35's is probly about were you want to be pretty close to factory like gearing. As far as it rolling thats more about you than the truck. I have had my truck sideways on more than one occasion and it allways was in my control. If i had let it get out of control it may have rolled.

I just bought a 6" lift with 37" tires to place on my blazer. A lot of people I have been talking too have discouraged me from placing the lift and tires. They say that it is too high and the truck is more likely to flip over or its just too high.

[/ QUOTE ] That would be the rock crawler vib...that is untrue for the most part. A 6" lift is short IMHO. It all depends on the type of fourwheeling you do. THe hardcore mud rigs are much taller than just a 6" lift most of the time. In fact with 37's I would be adding a 3" body lift to help clear them. I used to do hill climbs all the time with my K5 and I have 10" of lift on 35's. I never had any tippy moments for the most part.
On the rocks it could be a bit tall but that would be on some extreme rock trails.

That it will also run very sluggish or the transmission will not be able to last a long time with the lift and tires. I have a th350 modified with a shift kit. i bought like this. rebuilt 2 years ago.

[/ QUOTE ] 4.56's and 37's aren't bad. I won't have the guts it had with stock tires and light 10B's but thats the trade off. 4.88's or 5.13's would be better but what you have isn't bad, especially with a th350. You'll be fine, that combo should be out of the "danger" zone with causing tranny damage.

Hipinion & ugly blazer,

Look at the pic again! You will notice that in the pic my K5 was still a 1/2 ton with 33" SSR's and a 6" lift. The body lift was added when I went 3/4 ton and 35" boggers. /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Pay attention gentlemen. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif
