rough country 6.5" and drop control arm kit, adjustable upper/lowers and additional 2" coil spacer and 2" shackles. 5.25" drop pitman arm and the rear leaves have 6* pinion wedges installed in them, no transfer case drop, no sye.

im going to add the drop on the transfer case though just an inch to get a little back on the geometry end of such a large lift.
