Okay so i am reenlisting this month and i get an nice bonus to sign back on for an additional 4 years... so now with that bonus i think i want to put a 3 inch lift on the truck, and want to know what size tires and rims i can put on it with the lift? does anyone have ideas... never lifted a truck b4... o its a 2wd quad cab 06. thanks guys

 

Rims are pretty much up to you, as long as it's at least 17" in diameter. Personally I like 17's on a 4x4 for max flex off road, but on a 4x2 it's more a matter of looks and personal preference. Wheel width should be determined by what tire your choose. As far as tire height you'll be able to fit 35" diameter with about a 12.5" width if you choose a wheel with enough offset.

 

yea.. what he said..

 

You should take that bonus money and stick it in the TSP or better yet, if you're deployed, put it in the SDP and get 10% back on it.

Seriously though, why put a lift kit and big tires on a 2WD truck? Trade that bad boy in for a 4WD.

 

yeah i already did the investing thing in my mutual funds lol, and i cant trade it in for the 4wd ones bc i owe way too much and it would put me even more upside down but i wont have enough to pay it down after i get my other stuff paid down and investments and all... love the truck but should have gotten 4wd to begin with, and love the look of them lifted thats why i want to do it lol

 

It's your truck, your money. Do what YOU want to do to it. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. There are some 2wd owners on here with very nice looking, lifted 4x2's...
