X2 on the 4.5 LA. Also go with the SYE while you're at it, it will save you a headache later on. I'm pretty sure you'll need a longer drive shaft with the SYE.

Ok so after alot of searching and asking questions over again everyone says rough country sucks....
So what about this lift kit.....

My main reason for going to a long arm system is for better ride and better flex. So i was thinking about ordering this kit with bilstien shocks? any thought is iro better than rc? or are they the same?
This is what is in my cart that i want to order.

IRO is a good company. If I had the money to spend when I was choosing my lift id have gone with them or Clayton.
Youre gonna sit a little higher out back with that set up, but not to bad. You might order a .75" spacer for up front to level it out.

Keep it low and cut. It's hard to cut the first time but you will eventually. Go for LCOG and big tires. Some guys are running in the 37-39" range on less than 5" with trimming and welding the rear quarter back together, and some extending the wheelbase and opening up the the with a comp cut and it can still look really good. Check out the TNT XJ read fender trimming. One of the cleanest yet.

Ive got a ...well its all in my sig cuz im gay but. 6.5" lift and 35s I love it. Gotta do the gears IMHO, SYE is a must. I have the JCR under the knuckle and its great.
A must have is the 5150 bilstein shocks with 12" travel. Or any shock with that amount of travel. The shocks that came with my RC lift had 6" of travel and it was like what the point. Now my truck flexes so much.
