Thinking about getting this set up, just wondering what you all think before I get it. Daily driver, gets muddy during hunting season.

Yeah, that's a little on the pricey side for a 4 inch kit. Shop around before you make a decision.

id probably go with rough country or rubicon express, i did a looottt of homework on what lift to get and those are the two biggest names, and you can probably find a decent kit from one of them for cheaper than anything OME or any other smaller name, i got a real good deal on a RE 3.5" lift. Rusty's stuff is a little less expensive online but they're shipping is kind of a lot, and they're parts dont seem to be as reliable as RC or RE, from what research ive done.

I bought this exact lift from rusty's. i love it and have not had any issues. comes with everything you need. the shipping is on the expensive side but order it over the phone and the shipping cost will probably be cut in half.

i was extremly happy with my rough country 3" lift kit.. and you know that the kits are allways under rated due to the inevidable spring sag... i would say you cant go wrong with RC lift kits ...

OME equipment is good stuff. This is a good kit even if pricey. You will get what yo pay for.
