    yeah probably gonna put some longer shackles in the back. I already have an AAL. But on the other hand i sorta like how it would look sitting prerunner with the back staying pretty low

    3.5 will be too much unless your rims make them stick out like mine. my tires are past the fender about 3.5-4". i think showzer will be perfect with that size fender. do you know what company your going with yet?

    Thats with new wheels/tires pre-lift. The 3.5" fenders would more than cover it, you better have a wheel with very low backspacing to fill those. Mine are 3.75 and They don't even stick out 3" from the body.
