4.5" RC lift with 32 or 3" RC with 31
If I go with the 4.5" RC (and this has been asked 100s of times Im sure) can i just install and go? I do not want to trim.
Im contemplating this or the 3" x 31, same question
Im goin with the Cragar Soft 8's (15s) and not sure what tires.. yet....
Thanks!

You should be able to get away with no trimming on the 4.5/32" setup. I was at 4" with stock control arms and I had to trim but between the arms and the added height you can probably make it. If you do need to trim it will be in the rear of the fenders down at the bottom.

i hate to keep bothering.. im such a noob. besides the kit, tires, rims and possible spacers.. will i need more? i know i will want more, lol. I mean like extend the brake lines, etc...
My gf keeps asking me why I always have a project of some sort going on, bodybuilding then powerlifting, then a pool, then a fish tank, then a smoker (love me some brisket). I told her its good for us not be together and I dont like her very much. Is that wrong? I added, "we have talked enough for the day"

Brake lines (Chevy 1500 2WD and I believe TJs will work for the front) and 4.5" is where the possible need for a SYE begins to arise. Chances are you will be fine with just the TC drop but it isn't unheard of for someone at 4.5" to need one.
I would also recommend spending the extra money and getting the full leaf pack instead of the AAL. It is money better spent in the long run.

I have the rc 4.5 kit with 32's and I didn't have to trim at all, the kit also came with extension brackets for the brake lines so that is taken care of

Kick *** bro. If u read back in the thread, does what I am grabbing all sound good? I am ready to pull the trigger today.
I like the paint on the yellow. I may go flat black on the whole thing (even rims)
