Re: Lift kit, 4" vs 6"
We have the 6" with 38's also. It caused some rubbing and resulted in cutting some of the fender well but they are fine.

Re: Lift kit, 4" vs 6"
They cradle nice and snug when pushed in there. For the street they are great- wheeling with the 6" lift has caused more frequent issues as the IFS becomes weaker. I am unsure of the 4".

Re: Lift kit, 4" vs 6"
I think the way a lift looks (4" or 6") has a lot to do with the Rim size you are using. In my opinion, H2's look best with a 6" lift with 37" or 38" tires with 20" rims...smaller rims give the impression of the lift being higer or the wheels looking too small in the wells....

Re: Lift kit, 4" vs 6"
Nothing your truck to me proves the point. The 20" Rims make the whole package look more (for lack of a better word) even. If you had the same rims, but in say 17"...to me it would still look good, but the rim would just look to small coupled with the big tires and 6" lift...

I don't think they look small. But I guess the rims compensate for the tire meat.

Re: Lift kit, 4" vs 6"
You're talking about looks, not functionality. The smaller rims allow for more grip when aired down because the tires will flex more. Taller rims will cause you more problems when offroad.Quote:
