Default 2 more inches

Hey everyone. So I have a RE 4.5 super flex kit on my 01 sittin on 33s and I would like to go up 2 more inches for more clearance while on the trail. I don't know if doing so will put the driveline at to much of an angle or not what do you guys think ? I have a SYE and and need new shocks.

Uhh 4.5" is more than enough for 33's. Did you adjust your bumpstops when you did the lift?

If you really want to add another 2" and you already have a SYE you should be ok as far as driveline angles. If you are still running short arms you may want to really consider going to a long arm setup.

Well the reason I wanna go up 2 inches is because I like the clean look of the stock fender flares and last time i hit the trails I rubed really bad. I wouldn't mind the extra hieght either haha. Thank you for the quick response. Any suggestions on a good long arm kit ?

Thank you guys for the input. I think I'm only gonna go up 1 more inch. The RC shackel relocation bracets lift the rear roughly an inch and you get more articulation sounds like a win win to me haha
