    I agree very nice!! What all went into a 6" lift? Did you have to re-gear?

    I have not had to regear it l. I had the lift, wheels, and tires installed 2 weeks ago. Should I look into it? @Pnwoutdoors

    I've always heard and thought with 6" lift and larger tires a re-gear for the v6 was necessary? I'm not sure tho... but I have noticed with my 3" and 285 tires and current gears it feels heavy and sluggish.

    He only has to regear for additional weight not height. If he's running 35's as most 6'' lift guys do then you should consider a regear but 32-33'' typical tires shouldn't be an issue.

    @ZachMX @Pnwoutdoors Idk why but for some reason the largest recommended tire size for the 6" lift was 33x12.5

    Probably for that exact reason... probably would need to re-gear for anything larger and 33 was recommended on stock gearing? Is that what you're running? 33s?

    @Pnwoutdoors theyre 285/70r17 (32.7x11.2r17) with the only reason being the price jump from that to straight 33s.

    Well I want to get led replacements for the interior and exterior lights, possibly a grille guard, bull bar, or maybe even a replacement front bumper. Definitely need to invest in some quality seat covers and definitely want some tints. Any other suggestions you could make? @lotuscupcar

    Looks good, I've got a 4" on order that I plan to customize a bit to be able to add skid plates and stuff. I'm planning on some 295/75r16 (33.6")

    What lift brand is it.

    Thank you, that's what I purchased as well. I did as much research as I could, and I couldn't find why the BDS or ProComp was so much more expensive. I talked to Rough Country and they said all brackets are 1/4". I plan to plate them a little more and add front to t-case skid plates.

    Rough Country seems to have good customer reviews as well, and lifetime warranty. I thought I read they were made in the USA. I got my 4" shipped for $1,047. I play in the rocks a bit, and I like more belly clearance, and the thought of running the CV's at less of an angle.

    Sounds good

    Since you are doing so much red/black, how about doing the mirrors black?
