Please do tell me where I plan on taking the truck. I'm curious exactly what you know about my intended usage.
I don't know your usage and never said I did. What I did say is that a 2-4 inch lift on a truck offers no real benefit to its off road capabilities and actually hinders off road performance in many situations so the only logical reason one would get one is for looks and nothing more. All I am saying is don't say that is for better off road performance when it is not because if your main concern was off road performance then things like lockers, Deaver springs, disconnecting sway bars, or some form of suspension system to give you greater wheel travel would be discussed first long before a lift since those things actually improve off road capability unlike a lift.

You say you know where I'm willing to take a $40k truck?? How the hell is this possible? And I'm buying a $60k truck numb nuts.
I was just using 40K cause most crew cab trucks these days cost over 40K. If you are willing to get the body panels of this 60K truck you are buying dented in and scratched up then that is your own thing. If you are going to say that you will not be taking your 60k truck anywhere that there is a risk of any kind of body damage then I would have to ask why are you worried about off road performance if you are not going to be taking it where it matters and that just about any modern stock 4x4 truck these days can take you just about anywhere where there is no chance off body damage? I will not take my 65k truck through anything like that which is why I have my Jeep and a beater Toyota.

Nope, not a crayon eater. I never drank a nice tall glass of STFU either, and I don't think I will. Thanks for offering though!!!

My goal is to get a minimum lift/level that will allow the tire size I want and avoid rubbing. 35x12.5x18 won't fit stock without rubbing.
Actually 35x12s will fit on most new trucks with just a level and no lift without even coming close to rubbing. Although, as was said by someone else earlier, you don't need 35s for off roading in a truck so getting them is mainly for looks.

Never said I needed lift for better off road performance. You no reading SOB.
Oh I read you perfectly when you stated " We need good off road Performance for interests aside from camping". So if you want better off road performance and a lift takes away from off road performance (and you don't need one to fit 35s) then why would one get one? For show......

This forum is useless due to all the crayon eating MF's and blowhards like you. I have not seen a thread yet that wasn't destroyed by dip shits like you. 8-10 well intentioned intelligent folks start a conversation and then some cross eyed poop smearing dwarf chimes in fabricating BS that was never said to justify their rant somehow. It's pathetic.
Thanks for the kind words Dan. I really do appreciate it. Hey, when you get this lifted 60K truck, let me know cause I will invite you to one of my off road club events like the ones we take in Moab or in Hidden Falls in the link bellow......
