If they increase the lift just like the RC shackle relocation brackets do, then yes you will be at 4.5in total. I would recommend you look into the shackle relocation brackets that are sold on here, CF, that dont increase your lift but improve your shackle angle. Arorton just bought a set if I recall. Keep in mind you want a rig with a low center of gravity. 3in of lift on 31s will be perfect with slight trimming a bump stopping. Thats what I did.

What shocks do you currently have? I see you trimmed the fenders, looks good. Dont forget the front inner fender seam. Its sharp.

Yes that's what I have is 3.75" back spacing Im running 35/12.50 on 8" rim. Rim width doesn't matter really BUT if you crawl it you will get alto better tire flex with less damage on a narrow rim

I don't want to go back and find it. But did I hear someone is going to smorr in April? We have a tentative date of April 20th for a camping tip there.

And there was also talk about whistling tb spacers... mine whistles... but its not constant. Only when I'm stepping into it... which I always thought was cool.

On 31's you don't NEED a spacer. You can clear them with factory rims
