Ok, a buddy was able to get in touch with the previous owner. He said it is the Rough Country 3" non long arm kit. It does have aftermarket non adjustable lowers. I will need to replace one of the control arms and one shock. I should be able to use the rest.

If wheels are straight your caster is off. When you increase lift it pushes your axle down and causes your control arms to pull backwards on the axle. Adjustable control arms will fix this.

Long arms will definitely help, and just for a heads up you need to make the pinch seam in the wheel well flush as not to destroy your tires when tucking/flexing
It looks awesome man! Did you net more than 4.5 inches? I've decided I'm going to stuff some 33's on mine and but up and do some trimming haha

Thanks for the input guys. I have a radius arm set up in the garage that is going in the weekend after Easter, then I'm going to take it to work and use the forklift to flex it out and figure out my bump stoppage and trimming if necessary. Then have a custom computer alignment scheduled at a local 4x4 shop the following Friday. I'm cool with trimming the inner fenders and what not but I want to keep the factory flares, I'm going for the super stock look.

I haven't lifted it yet. That is just my stock suspension drooped 5" with one of my new wheels and tires bolted on to get a feel for how it is all going to come together.
No, I don't lick fish.

True story... need to do this with mine. I've already sliced up a few lugs 'cause I haven't done it yet. Not really an issue with the 235's but the 31s are definitely making contact.
