Im driving myself crazy
Should I go 4.5 inch, or 3 inch? I would get either one from zone. The 4.5 lift is about 200 more but comes with swaybars, lower control arms, shackles, all bushings, tcase drop, maybe some other stuff. I would most likely run 31s on either kit. I plan on going taking it to Rausch next year. I also thought about just getting the 3 inch, and adding some spacers and shackles later on. What do you guys think? Also, if anyone has pics of a 4.5 with 31's I'd like to see it. Thanks

I got the short arm lift so: upper and lower control arms, 4.5" coils, adjustable track bar, swaybar discos, stainless braided brake hoses, front bumpstop extensions, t-c drop kit, 3.5" full leaf packs, 1.25" shackles, and the combo i got had doesch tech shocks but their kits don't normally come with shocks.

I was at 4.5 with 31's. It was an 3.5 RE kit with 1 inch spacers and shackels It looked good and I liked it. And there was also enough room to go to a bigger tire, which I did.

The control arms are not completely necessary. Some people will drill a new mounting hole for the stock track bar, but I don't like that idea. So if you can afford it, i would.
