Default 4.5 or 6.5

Thinking of going with a new lift. I have a 4.5 short arm. Going to go with either 4.5 long arm or 6.5 long arm Clayton. Looking to run 33 or 35. But also looking for a great ride as this is a daily driver. Pics and info or suggestions appericated.

4.5 is perfect for a dd. That's where I'm at and I love it other than being on short arms. 35's fit nicely with proper trimming and bumpstops

4.5 lift with control arm relocation brackets this will give you the best ride quality and with propper trimming will fit 35s nicely
