I’m looking to upgrade my lift to accommodate 40” tires. I currently have a 3.5” RC lift with 37s. It did its job well for what it cost, but I’m looking to move up to 40s and want a better quality lift.
I have reinforced my axles (trussed/gusseted) and have a deep enough gear ratio (5.13). I drive an Overland, so I don’t have the Rubicon/Mojave fenders. I’m just at a loss on which lift to go with. Any suggestions on what I need to be looking at? A complete 4.5” lift should be sufficient even with Overland fenders, right?
I’m looking for a setup that will handle rocks, overlanding, beach driving, and my morning commute. I also know 40s are way overkill for what I *need*, but it’s what I *want*, so I’d prefer to keep the conversation focused on how to make it happen, not whether it needs to happen.
