I have rough countrys 6.5 and drive on 33 and play on 34. I did a little trimming and still hit some but its not bad.

what size tires you have on in the last picture in your album with the door open that looks good

I just looked up RC lift i think i might get that instead of rusrys its a little cheaper how is it to install?

That picture is not long after the lift installed. The rims are 33x12.50x15 on some 15x10 rims.

The install is basic. Make sure if you do the short arm kit you get the drop brackets. They will make your ride better. I have them. It lowers your control arm mounting point like 4" lower. I love mine and after a break in it flexs well.

And thanks

Is that the control arm drop kit?

89whiteXJ

yes it is

This is mine during install and at first I had to use the stock control arms b/c the new ones were not ready.

I think i might just buy the long arm assembly as long as its not to hard to put it in.Its gunna be my daily driver so i want to get a decent ride and from what i hear the long arm kit is pretty good.
