I might invest in some cause they are much cheaper that a long arm kit. Well I think I'm going with the 4.5in lift and I have to use the 33x12.5 cause I already have them. Do I really need anything else? I have the 4.56 gears and eventual I'll get a sye

it wont be significant enough. no matter how much you extend it the lca angles are too much compared to a LA

I can fit 35" tires with a doubt current on my 3.5" lift. But I wont run 35's or larger until I do an axle swap

Just by the daystar extended bumpstops and flex it out if it rubs glue a hockey puck to the coil pad and try again. Just make sure you are not bottoming out your shocks before you hit the bumpstop
