Default lift kits with stock rims

are there any 4-6 in lift kits for 99-02 1500's that will fit stock rims, i know the superlift f.i.t. will but they don't recomend it.

Why do you want to keep the stock rims?

I think the Skyjackers can do that. I'm sure the 3" can, and I think the 6" can as well.

Can you clarify your question, I am not for sure what you are asking.

Most lift kits are designed to lift the truck so you can put larger tires on, a 6" lift would allow you to accommodate some 35. The stock wheels are just too narrow for 35 since most are 12.5 inches wide, this is why most people get 10" wide rims for 35 and 8" wide for 33.

well i don't really like that many aftermarket rims also i hate how much they stick out form the body, afew i have seen tuck under the body very nicely but must i guess the back spacing is like 4in with a 10-12.5 rim look bad to me. i have seen 315's on a stock rim. plus the rims i think would look good on my truck are just too much

any full drop lift that doesn't use new knuckles should work with your stock rims. these are procomp, old superlift, fullthrottle, cst or something like that. thats what i can name off the top of my head. i like my procomp
