Re: 69 with 4" lift and 36
How much do you plan on the road versus off the road? You should be OK for an on road machine. Offroad, even my 35's rubbed on the front of the rear fenders and I could stuff them into the wheelwells in the front when it was twisted up.
If you are expecting to do much offroading, my experience is you need a zero rate on both ends of the 4" (this will give you 5") moving both axles away from center 1". Trim the front of the rear wheelwells and lop the lower piece of the front fenders off (just below the top of the bumper). You may have to do driveshaft mods at this point. FWIW, I plan on moving from my 36's to 37's and that is the same approach I will take.

Re: 69 with 4" lift and 36
Do the ORD 1" lift along with the zero rate.. also just replacing old body mounts will usually give you back some height....

Re: 69 with 4" lift and 36
It's the front that matters. Tuff Country sells a HD front shackle that also lifts over an inch. Then,there are zero-rates made by ORD. Those will give you a bit more than a 6" lift.

Re: 69 with 4" lift and 36
my truck has a 3" body, with 35's and theres still enough room. if there was a situation where you did need more room, id go 1" body. then its cheap, easy and it really dosent 'mess up' your lift any. the only reason i say that is if the company backs their product, and you combine it with other stuff and for whatever reason something goes wrong, they most likley will not back it due to the other things being on there too. i bet you know how that goes..
 good luck

Re: 69 with 4" lift and 36
