Ok I want the full leaf. So high difference what's a RC 4.5 going to give and a RE 3.5. Seems like the 3.5 is really higher then 3.5 though

RE lifts always net more than the stated amount of lift.

Ima just go with re lol. I got a RC 3" and I wasn't really satisfied with it. Just didn't know about RC 4.5 but reviews are better on re and seems like that's the best. BTW do you know where I can maybe get a trailer hitch spare tire carrier. Seen them a few times

I don't know of any companies making them for the masses. I think you're better off finding a local welding shop to knock one out for you.

Do it once, do it right.

I've got everything on my site that you'll need to get your rig lifted and trail ready.
