PLEASE CLOSE THIS POLL

OK so as of right now the Jeep is sitting on 4.5" RC lift with short arms, I have a full 6.5" RC long arm kit sitting in the room. I was thinking i will do do the LCA kit but leave the 4.5" springs on it since I will be sticking with 33s and i would just have to trim a tiny bit of the rear fender again. So lets poll and see what the community thinks, keep in mind im in Germany so getting parts and fasteners out here are pricey and can be hard to come by.

PLEASE CLOSE THIS POLL

I'd trim and do 4.5" personally, but it's all up to you.

Do you have an SYE or a t-case drop?

If SYE, you may as well do the 6.5.
If the t-case drop, you're pretty much stuck leaving it at 4.5.

I love 5.5 with 35's, 4.5 should be perfect for 33's with some trimming.
