You'll need longer brakes all round and an SYE

1. Rough Country sucks
2. 6.5" of lift and short arms sucks
3. What size tires you gonna run? You may need to upgrade steering unless you never see offroad.
4. Youll need an SYE
5. If you plan on running 33s+ youll need new wheels with more offset..

Like Kris said, Im right..lol.

First and for most, what is your budget?
For the money of that RC kit you could pretty much piece together a MUCH better kit.
Kris can put you something good together, as well as serious..

If you want some more specific advice let me know..I can recommended some parts for you to get you on the right track.
