well, you could order the 5.5 inch kit and either ask them to substitute the 5.5 inch coils for the 4.5 inch ones. or you can get the 5.5 inch coils with the kit and sell them to pay for the 4.5 inch ones.... or trade them for 4.5 inch coils to someone who wants to upgrade.

i wouldn't use long arms for 3.5 inch lift. i don't think they adjust small enough.... i could be wrong tho. but i still wouldn't use those arms for 3.5. just my opinion.

the TNT setup is much better than the RE one. get the TNT LA upgrade, RE 4.5" coils, and RE 3.5" leafs and a 1" shackle, then some nice shocks and ext. brakelines.
