Default RC 4.5 X-Series for DD

I am but a couple of days from ordering my lift. I am torn between their x series or their standard 4.5 lift.

My 99 is a dialy driver and will see some light trailing this summer but spends most of its time on-road. So yes in true poser style lol; I am going for looks.

I will be riding around on my Duratracs for awhile. All the decent pics of 235's with 4.5 lift do not have a mud style tread and all the ones that do are crappy pics. So they look stupid. I think these might look ok for now.
I think I'm goin to get some 1.5" wheel spacers to hopefully make it look alittle more conformed.

So 2 ?'s.

1. Which lift?

2. Will it look suitable for about 3 months before i can get some 31's?

Thankyou guys.

OOh. Forgot about that being needed with the standard kit. I guess I wil be going with the X kit, just for the completeness of it.

I wasn't even considering the aal. full packs only.

Thanks for pointing that out to me. That was pretty much a decision maker.lol.
