I'd say it's 6", but not 100% sure. It's tough to tell on the new body style because there's not a ton lifted yet

That is a 6" suspension lift. I have seen quite a few new ones look like this.. check on e-bay.. people seem to buy them, drive them for 1k miles, put a huge lift on them, and then sell. I have no idea why... If I had a truck that sweet I would never get rid of it.

The only other normal lift kit for these trucks are a 12", which is just huge.

4" ,, 6",, 8" ,, 9" 11" and 12" are available. for the new lmm. from diff manifactures

Dang, wrong again.

Atleast I was right about the lift though. The 6 in is all you need IMHO.

How big can you go without having to change steering and ect.?

i'm more looking at doing a 4" with probably some 33s and 20" rims. I don't want a real aggressive tire due to me driving 70 mile round trip to work daily. have the lift and larger wheels been killing gas mileage on these vehicles?

everytime u add weight . u kill fuel eco. its not the lift really. its the heavy wheals. its the price we pay. other wise we would be driving CIVICS

Yeah it's a 6in. lift. Probably a Pro-Comp since the front track width looks pretty close to stock. It also looks like 35in. toyo open country M/T's on 20's. If you are Just looking to run 20's with 33in. tires on yours, I would do the cognito leveling kit, and if the back end is bothering you just put some blocks in the back. You probably spend around 600.00 for parts as compared to over a 1000.00 for a 4in. kit.
