    I was looking at the 4" lift not the 6", not wanting to go that big.

    Is the extra inch of lift really worth the extra expense and cut cross member tho? most likely not. you wont fit any larger of a tire and you're wasting money on the drop bracket where you could be spending it elsewhere on nicer coilovers and upper arms that will leave your truck 10x more capable off-road and smoother riding around town.

    I would rather not cut, replace, weld, change out, spend money, add CV stress, ball joint stress, cause axle wrap. ect,ect,ect. unfortunately they don't come from factory with 33" tires and room to spare. Maybe I should have asked what's the best direction to run 33s and have "room to spare" without a body lift....Or kept my Jeep, no problem lifting it.

    You can upgrade a db lift to make it very nice and quiet capable, but it can be costly! I used the basics of a db lift, went with TC uca's, custom King coilovers with remote res., full custom leaf pack from Alcan, and rear extended Bilstein's. A full 6" lift. Had a problem with full turning radius, tried to come up with a solution with custom sway bar end links, but because of the res tank , nothing worked so the lift co. Spung for some wheel spacers which should do the trick we think. Should finally know tomorrow. Will probably opt for Bushwacker pocket flares now because of the spacers.

    That's what I call a lift, a little higher than I'm looking for but would like to see some pics when you are done.

    How's your mpg looking? I might be getting the same set up but not sure yet if I'm willing to risk the mpg loss

    Not sure. Picked up the truck on Jan. 7 and only used half tank of gas from the dealership. Has been in the shop for the last 4 weeks. The first 4 weeks I was out of town so hardly drove it. So hopefully I will be able to start driving it this weekend. Also had a magnaflow exhaust installed. Don't think it will be too bad as long as I am not to heavy footed.

    Still to come, AMP running boards, Bamf grill, custom Katzkin interior two tone with custom embroidered logo, probably the Bushwacker flares, leer cap is waiting to be installed, custum trd don't tread bedside decals. I'll have so much into this truck that I can't worry about the mpg's lol.

    They are hubcentric, yes. I have center caps on the wheels, but Konig has changed the center caps to flat caps that are not very exciting, to be honest. I'm not looking for flashy caps by any means, but any kind of depth would have been nice. Their old cap style was better looking.

    Beautiful. Which coils did you use in the front? Dakar leaf springs or AAL?
