Well I decided to go with the Rustys' 3 inch w/ full leafs, and 31 inch firestone destination M/Ts. and the 15x8 cragar soft 8s in black. I already got my k&n, tb spacer, skyjaker quick disconnects, husky floor linners, and cragars, from quadratec.com. although the snowbaord rack is on back order. but no im just waiting for my lift kit and tires to get here.

I hope these pics upload right. the rear is sitting a little higher than the front...
i hope it just has to settle. Or maybe i should get new lower control arms?

Im starting to think that the front is not sitting high enough. when i bought the kit from rustys, i ordered the 150lb front springs. should i have gone with the 180lb?

the measurements from the center of wheel to flare: 20 inches in the front and 21.5 inches in the rear. And im having some decent amount of rubbing in the front. I trimmed the fenders and a little of the wheel well lining. any suggestions?

well i would suggest you get on a ramp and flex it until it rubs then measure how much room you have between your coil isolators and your spring pearch then add bumpstop accordingly.

they "will" give you more room but i would greatly suspect that it wont be enough. my suggestion would be to get some wheels with less (numerically) backspacing or some wheel spacers.

I agree with 4.56's being undergeared for 37's and personally i think the same for 4.56's and 35's as well.
I ran 4.88s with 35's and they felt pretty good, felt very similar to stock. If I were to run 37's I would probably go 5.29's. Just my .02, hope this helps.
