Well the most ill be in is mud so i dont really need a lot of wheel travel, and i like the look better without a lift thats too much overkill. Plus those fenders will give me extra room. I love 35s but i worry bout gas mileage with em

I'd go with a 4.5 in lift, you'll always wish u went higher. Might as well do it right the first time. I love my RC 4.5.

I have 33s on mine. All I have is 3 inch spacers right now and 1.5 inch blocks. I know everyone hate on me for spacers and blocks but I drive it a couple of blocks a day and haven't really made it off road yet with my busy life. But Owell. Trim and you can fit 33. There's a thread about 36s on 3 inch some where round here. All bout bump stop and trimming

Bone stock, no lift and 33s... on stock wheels at that.



This is not my ideal set-up but it moves and turns and flexs (a little). I plan to put a small lift on this and let my wife beat the hell out of it.
