I would rather not lift the rear much higher, if any at all. Its at 3", the most I'd really be ok.with is 4".

I'm on 33s now, will someday see 36s. Eventually bigger, but not on stock axles.
knew it. your shackle is already full droop. if you get shackles and relo's you have much more droop.

And a bit taller stance in the rear.

Hopefully I can hold it to an inch taller at most.

not necessarily, long shackle at the mount pint will provide lift, but when it's kicked to a 45-50* it won't provide much with low pro relocators. my 2" shackle were barely 3/4" lift with relo's

Brian is making low pro brackets now. Just a heads up in case you haven't picked up a set yet.

I'm always up for the Cliffs. Let me know when you're thinking of going, we could probably get a good group together.
