Are most of you guys lifted or can you do most of the popular trails at stock height?

I have a 2" lift using the Core Recon suspension system. An amazing difference in ride
over stock suspension. A 6" lift seems a bit extreme....

I can tell you from my own experienc without a lift I would not have the breakover, entry, depareture angle I need to go places. If I had a smaller truck I would not need as much lift if any at all. I think it really depends on you and where you are going to take your truck. I am with Deltarat my lift rides better than when it was stock.

My 99 F250 got new stock springs in the back along with air bags, new shocks all around, a 2" leveling kit and I went with 285/75's on the stock 16" rims. Got me over quite a few passes, gullies, and rocks in Colorado. The 285/75's are basically the same height/lift as the 305/70's just not quite as wide. 99% of the time I'm probably on pavement. 6" is a lot and can add complexity.

I've been running stock but I plan to get something like Deltarat is running. 2 inches is fine.

I have a F350 with a donahoe/icon 2.5"/3" lift and it enabled me to run 35's at one time. Like others have said, my ride improved quite a bit but more so it increased the distance between the front bump stops two fold. Most Overland vehicles don't run much lift or any at all.
Jon is very knowledgeable in regards to lifts, maybe he will chime in.

No lift and it really hasn't hindered me so far. That said, if I had the funds I'd put a 2" lift on my truck.
