Default Gmc/Chevy with 4" lift anyone have any pictures?

[INDENT[/INDENT

Hey guys, thinking of putting a 4" lift with 305/65/18" tires on my 2006 Gmc 2500 Hd crew cab. Anyone have a set up like this? If so could you post or send me some pictures so I could see how it looks.

Thanks

I'd go with a good quality lift, some of the cheap lifts are more hassle than they are worth. Here is a 4" Cognito lift on an 06

What gear ratio to you have, and what are you towing? Be aware you may need to regear to get your towing "torque" back going to the larger tire.

I have 4.11's I use to tow a 32' Sunsation I think is was around 10,000 lbs. It seems a 6" lift with 35's is more popular, but I thought this set up would gust keep the height down a little. I have a leveling kit with 285/75/16 the truck looks good and I like the ride
Height. But it ride like c hit. Just looking for some options

Thanks

If you have a Duramax it has 3:73 from the factory unless you changed them?

You could also do leveling keys in the front and a 2" block in the rear I used to run 35" tires on H2 wheels with that setup.

It's a 6.0 liter gas, and I think it has 4.10's not 4.11's
