Thanks man. Its definitely coming along nice. Still a lot to do yet though. Rear shock mounts, trac bar, hydro cylinder mounted, shorten front drive shaft, bumpstops, jcr taillight 1/4 panel guards/bodywork/cutting, rear bumper, 2x5 rock sliders. I think that's about it. I'll get to the stiffeners and cage later.
I have to adjust my shackle angle to bring up the rear. Might have to add a leaf. Should be alright though once I get it cut. But here she sits
im running RE 5.5 coils RC 4.5 leaf pack with a couple leaves removed with 1/2 ton chevy main and JKS shackles.. I'm not to sure how high its actually sitting now with the new mounts.. I havent measured.. Probably closer to 6.5 would be my guess..

Good to know! Im planning on doing dana44/9in ltr just wanted to know how tall it was to clear 39.5s since i want to run 37s...
It all depends how much you want to cut. I'm not afraid to cut but I don't want the body hacked off like some guys do. So I'll just add bump stop after I cut where I want it.
A buddy of mine runs 4.5 coils with 37s and has no issues. But he cut a lot. And plans on 43s.

Dang 4.5 lift with 37s must look killer! Im still trying to gather the money to buy the rc long arm kit. Do you have any pics of ur buddys rig?

Well im kinda iffy about iro long arm and claytons also witch is almost the same.. I like for the uppers to have somthing holding the axel as well. I would like to make my own but i dont know what to use for tube and ends. Ive seen some guys on here that just use stuff like if its no big deal (remember this is my dd so i cant have it down to long) i guess thats why i would buy stuff bsides down here people are to dumb to understand when u tell them to do somthing for you, like long arms and if they do they will try to charge you a nut and an arm
Gotcha. I'd trust Clayton 3 link over rc any day though. Rc customer service is great. But I don't think they even compare to Clayton or bds. That's my opinion.

Sorry for the ignorance but who is bds? I think ive seen them before.. I need to check em out if i havent!

I dig it a lot. That's the same bumper i wanna get for the front. I don't like hearing they skipped out on your mounting plates though.
