Happy Thanksgiving 6G! I was wondering what sort of lift/leveling would be most suitable for a stock OB non-Sasquatch - no tire change, to give it a more aggressive look without going too crazy. Just enough that it's obvious that it's not stock. Be gentle.

Yup…what Natureman said. Have 2” on non SAS OBX myself.

Gotta be honest tho. It’s not going to look aggressive with the stock Bridgestone Duellers and a lift. IMHO it’s gonna look even worse. The reason people lift is to clear more rubber for wheeling and look.

So what rubber did you go with and were you able to offload the stock tires at reasonable value?

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT’s. Went from the stock 255’s to 295’s.

I get it. Replacing stock rubber to aftermarket is expensive. But if you’re going to lift it you should go with bigger tire. Otherwise, don’t lift it cuz you’re not going to get aggressive look you think. Go stock set up til you wear stock rubber then go with lift and bigger tires when new tires needed.

I’ve held on to my stock set for now, but if I need to sell I’m certain I could at some point.

Good luck.

I'm not a fan of levelling lifts because once you put some weight in the back then "your headlights are looking for aliens". I'd maybe go with a 1" or 2" regular lift. Keep the same factory rake.

YMMV
