Thanks Im pretty happy so far. I think you could get away with 35's but youd still rub like crazy without bump stops. my 33's dont rub but i havent been able to wheel it to hard yet so we'll see.

I have everything all mounted up and been driving around the past week or so and the front has settled quick but the rear is still sitting high? 
anyone running this lift that has some insight?
I also tired to max out the flex and couldn't find anything tall enough

after driving it around with flat flares and 31's I decided i wanted some bigger meats. I found some 33's mounted on some steelies with valve stem guards installed. i dont really see the need for them but they were dirt cheap so i figured why not. they needed a little work so i sanded them down and painted them. turned out half decent for a rattle can job!
after getting them all mounted up, I wanted more lift. this seems to be a never ending process!

Installed some coil spacers today to offset the winch weighing it down.
BEFORE
AFTER
while I was doing this i noticed 2 things wrong.
1)The passenger side sits 1" lower than the left only in the front. Any ideas why that might be?
2)The track bar seemed to be limiting the "drop" of the axle on the passenger side. I had to unbolt it all together to get the coil out. Is that normal?
Thanks in advance for the advice!

Yes they are and I couldn't agree more. The bountiful B is a pretty good spot but it's a little outside of slc. Not as good of "trail" riding though. At the top of gaurdsmans pass someone built a pretty fun obsical course.
