Im contimplating the same thing... but when a 3.5' lift witout AAL's is 550 and sum change, and the 4.5" lift with AAL's is only a few hundred bucks more then the 3.5, seems like a no brainer to me, go with the 4.5". Im also curious on backspacing, without the correct backspacing you will rub correct??
ok guys. after much back and forth debate, i took the plunge and ordered the lift, kits, rims, hubs and lug nuts...
a bit of, well not buyers remorse, but you know that feeling.
i guess i am a lifer now.

Well what did you go with??? Are you putting the lift on urself??
4.5" RC with NEW leaf springs, 15"x8 Cragar soft 8 (black x chrome lugs x chrome hub), tires will be 32x11.50x15 (still shopping--suggestions welcome!)
I am having it done by a buddy who needs cash. 200 bucks... he says 3 hrs.

I suggest Cooper discovery stt. they are pretty damn good offroad, siped a little for better handling on road and the best part, they have the best treadwear that I've seen personally. 60k out of an m/t!? Holy crap. that was on my cuzz wrangler rotated every 4k and would still pass inspection with about 3/32" of tread..... pretty quiet too! Get em cheap at Treadepot.com

I'm running 4.5 with 31's at the moment. Next set of tires will be 35's, with some 4.56 gears on my ax-15. When I got these tires it wasn't paid off yet so there was no taking a sawsall to it... yet
