Like everyone else said stay with a smaller lift. Unless you plan on only going through mud. I'm at 4 inch lift with a d44 and ford 9" on 35s. Cut the fenders, bumpstop, shackle relocations and long arms.

I cant really say stay with a smaller lift, yes low cog rigs are amazing, but I wheel with guys running 8+ with 35s and do more than some of thw low cog guys, and we crawl no mud for us. I only say stay small if you plan to dd it, our flying boxes already get crap mpg, the higher you go the lower they go.

She'd probably have to crawl mine ahah. My tires are tight and she has 35s and disconnects. So hers would be easier.

What are you running? No disconnects?

I dont even run any sway bars, im at 3 and 31s, trimmed, just springs and shocks, everything else is stock. Im pretty sure I could climb a 33 or 35

Look into a cowl intake, with a k and n drop in

What kind of system are you looking at, I think Im gonna replace all my speakers with kicker 6 1/2s. Possibly a rockford fosgate t0

Haven't even started looking at stereos. No garbage though. Speakers are not something to cheap out on.
