Picked up my new D-Max yesterday. Nice truck. Big differance from my 04 F-250. Would love to see the thing sitting a little higher, would think it would have, at least 265 tires too? Sure drives nice though.

If you want it higher, go back to your Furd!
Personally, I like it nice and low. As I get older, I find that getting into the Chevy is easier than the others

I would like about 3", to fit 285 tires on the stock rims.

I like mine stock height same reason as donn above. Also, raise it up too much and most parking decks won't be available when you take your run to the big city. I also wonder what some sharpy lawyer could do to you if you ever put your bumper thru someones side window in an accident where you are the at fault party. Just some stuff to consider.

I like the height of the chevy because I have on occasion loaded the back with scrap concrete, dirt and other miscellaneous materials. When you are young you don't notice it as much as you do when you start to get older.

Enjoy the new ride.

Well there is a PA 3 inch body lift if you want it higher, or a 3 inch suspension from cognito. You can run 285s without doing anything except zip tieing the inner fenders back a little. That's the easier and quickest way to go.

I run 285's and only have my T-Bars Cranked all the way. Only have to turn two bolts six times and get an alignment. All you need, by the way get the BFG's there awesome
