Well since you have the white one you should be ok. Haha I'm just kidding
From everything I've seen on here yes you'll be ok but the rear 7 on a crew cab will bottom out like crazy

Crew cabs tend to sit right with a 4/6. You'll need to remove the bump stop and cut the bracket off of the frame, at that point you might bottom out on large dips or bumps but it shouldn't happen too often. With 275/55/20 (factory size) which is what I assume you have, the front will likely rub a little, but nothing severe. It depends on your ability to shrug it off if it will bother you or not. You can always pull the plastic liners, massage the metal back, reinstall the liners, and heat them back, or I've heard of people holding them back with zip ties.

perfect .... what kit do you have? I have been looking for a week or so on here and other sites for pics. What 4/6 kit do you have ... seems to be a huge debate lol. I think i will go with belltech as FROM WHAT I READ you dont lose any turning radius with there kit? I seem to read the DJM rear flip with c-notch is the way to go for the rear? .... Can you post a couple pics of your ride in this thread?
