Looking for any guidance on a 6.5" lift over a 5.5". I am planning to go with either their 5.5" or 6.5" long arm kit from Iron Rock Offroad. I'll be running 33x12.5s and may want to go to 35s at some point but not unless I find the 33s won't get me where I want to go.
Any reason to go all the way to the 6.5" lift over? The argument for 6.5" seems to be ability to run 35-37" tires and better clearance. The argument against seems to be center of gravity.

I've had my RC 3" lift for about two months now and just got my 32's on and I really need a track bar bad. Anybody no any good brands to go with on a budget? I know to stay away from RC track bars and I was lookin at RE but they only make a 3.5"-5.5". Would that work or do I need to find another?

its not going to fit your stock bracket because it's a double shear track bar and the stock bar uses a TRE. And I believe his comes with the bracket. It's a package deal.

Alright I appreciate it. But humor me for a second I know my way around a car pretty good but double shear will just be as simple as adding the bracket and slapping it in there right? Nothin else adding or fabbing up?

now if you buy just the bar then you'll need to make or buy a bracket for a double shear track bar.

double shear is just what you see in the pic. It's basically the same ends like are on your control arms. Since a double shear track bar won't work with the stock bracket on the frame end, you need a new bracket. If you buy that track bar with the bracket, everything will bolt up. no fab needed. now if you buy just the bar then you'll need to make or buy a bracket for a double shear track bar.

No problem. I know most of his stuff is more expensive than others but just remember, his stuff is pure beef. It's solid CRS.

I'm running the KOR tb and love it.
Shackles or full leaf pack. AAL are stiff and don't last.
