Nice. I'm gonna have to look into that. I may piece together a 4.5" lift. Already got 3" but want a little more.
Thanks for the quick responses.

Long arm kits require 4+ inches. There are some ppl on the forum running a long/medium arm setup at 3"

Now that I'm home I have a few more pictures.

5 inches of lift and 35's.
Not much uptravel but it still flexes great.
