Ok. I was thought I had my lift parts sorted out. I was originally going to use RE 4.5" coils and RE 3.5" leafs, but then I remembered that RE sits high. I'm wanting as close to 4.5" as possible. I'm running 33's with trimmed fenders and don't want my tires to look little. I'm sitting on a D35, and don't plan on a rear end swap, so I'm sticking with 33's.

What coils and leafs do yall recommend to achieve a legit 4.5"?

and I'll be running IRO double shear, and IRO adjustable CA's.

Legit 4 inches is what my 3.5 RE stuff gave. Maybe 4.5 out back... My tires, exactly the same ones you have look kinda small in my opinion.

Looking at you're build thread, I think it looks great.

Didn't I read that you'll be stepping up to 35's at some point?
