i was thinking that a 6.5 lift would look kinda weird with 33's. so i was opting to get a RC 4.5 and a BB 1" to tie it all together. keep in mind this is my DD-WW. which one would work out better for me.? thanks for the opinions in advance.

4.5" with fender trim is the way to go.

It doesn't look that bad. I put on the RE 5.5 and got about 6.5 and I'm still running 33's. If you have the money, go bigger so you won't have to lift it twice.

I ordered the 4.5" LA RC lift & I plan on trimming the fenders for 33's but can't decide on flare.

i think 6.5" with 33's looks awesome... no trimming

4.5" looks best with 32's but thats just my opinion, i dont like trimming or taking the fenders off

33s fit with 5" and barely any trimming. Done it.

4" and 32s did too for the most part.

I say 4.5" and trim a bit with 32s or 33s.

ditto.

5.5ish with trimming. 33 gets up there in fender. going 6.5 soon

33 is plenty on a 6.5 lift. More room to flex her out!

With 4.5 youll run into a lot less issues with driveline angles and all that stuff as well as have a lower COG, making it much more stable and much safer. You could probably get away with 5" but not everyone is so lucky. Ive ran up to 6" on mine with no sye and no issues but ive got friends that couldnt run past a 3" lift with no sye.

yea im really hellbent over to go with the RC 4.5 and a 1 BB.. OR the RC 6.5 short arm kit. (i cant afford the LA and i dont rock crawl) with the 4.5 i dont have the benefit of having new CA's but with the 6.5 i do, which would make me feel better. i just dont know.

Remember that going over 4.5 is risky with your slip-yoke. Unless you're planning on an SYE you might be limited to just the 4.5 kit. I know I am for now until I piece together my tom woods kit.
