Default Which One???

alright so i got my tax refund today. at total of around 890 WHOOHOO!!!. now my original plan was to do a 6.5 RC short arm kit. but judging how little i got back im not so sure i want to get it. now im thinking of getting a RC 4.5 with full packs and a 1 BB for 5.5 total lift. because im planning on buying a H&T as well which is 200. put yourself in my shoes what would you guys do? looking for some direction, thanks in advance...

I would say to hell with the spacers and shackles on top of the lift and just go with the 4.5 for lower center of gravity. Trim for the tires I want.

I say stick with the 4.5 and trim as well. You may want to go ahead and get the shackles though as those leaf packs will sag pretty quick...at least mine did.

Low COG FTW!

thats a great deal for the sye kit. but believe it or not my rig has the NP242. i got to do the H&T.. well i really appreciate the inputs, im gonna do the RC 4.5 kit full packs. and maybe the 1 BB shackle and spacer.
