If your not getting the x series kit then it is probably worth it to go with the RC 6.5

It's the basic 4.5" Lift and at the bottom of the page there is an option to get the rear springs making it 650

yeah, the full pack kit isn't over 700 dollars... if you call up there and ask for jason, tell him you're from this forum you'll probably get it even cheaper than ordering on the website.

Though instead of using the drop pitman arm you'd be better suited to go with a more appropriate over the knuckle steering setup.
