Debating what lift

So i'm having a hard time with what lift i wanna get. I've been looking at the RC 4.5 and the RE 3.5. I wanna run 32's, i wanna keep somewhat as close to mpgs as i'm have now. If i get the 4.5 will i need the SYE, longer driveshaft, and have to gear it? Or if i do the 3.5 same things and fit 32's.. Really needing some help let me know what you think guys.

Rusty's full leaf pack 4.5" kit

*And it comes with a transfer case drop kit, if you still get vibes with that then you will need a SYE and CV driveshaft to go along with it. Ironrock offroad's hack n tap kit comes with a driveshaft and is only 200 bucks. Gearing will not be ideal with 32's but you will be okay.

well RE is closed. I'm not an RC fan their kit is meh at best for what you get. Look into Zone, Iron Rock, Clayton, Rock Krawler, BDS ect. dont just go with the brand name see it on TV or in a mag parts

3-3.5" of lift is the limit before you'll need a SYE and possibly other things.

Make sure you are ready to invest in other areas besides springs before crossing the 3" line.
