After much thought, I was initially going to do a 3.5" lift but I have now decided to save up a little bit more money and just do a more complete lift, so I am going to do a 4.5" lift.

I think this is what I will go with.

In the end I expect to pay probably around 800 dollars for this thing. I already know that I will need to get extended brake lines (which I will include in this purchase of the lift kit).

Is there anything else that I'll need to do? I want to try to keep this car riding as close as it is now. I have the Dana 35 rear axle and I was also wondering if the 4.5" lift will be too much for it to handle? I plan on running 32" tires (MAYBE 33" if I decide to cut the fenders). I just need to know if the rear axle can handle that.

Other than that, am I good to go? I heard some people have had to adjust their speedometer so that it reads more accurately if you go with bigger tires? Any truth to this.

I am a noob, just trying to gather as much information as possible. Thanks

You will need an adj track bar, and either a sye or t-case drop. And maybe some sway bar discos if you want to wheel it.

x2 on the adj track bar. The kit comes with a t-case drop which will be fine. You don't need swaybar quick discos to wheel it (just bring a 15mm socket and wrench with you). The only other thing is a drop pitman arm to keep your drag-link lined up with the trackbar.

Lift wont effect your rear axle, just tire/gear size and a offroad punishment.

Your dont need to adjust your speedo if you change gears with tires. Even without gears it will probably only be off by about 10-15%.

Good Luck!

When I got my RC 4.5" I also purchased their adjustable Track bar and drop bracket.

i have a 5" lift with 31s and mine is only off 11 percent.

That takes to long. haha

I know the extra 2 minutes it takes to unbolt takes away from wheel time, but I'm cheap enough to justify it, haha.
