    Well mine are set at 3", it is a firm ride, but I tow my rock crawler with the truck. It's as soft as I want it for me. I am going to bump up to a higher rated spring after my new plate bumper and skids are installed.

    I'm of the opinion that if you're going to cut make 33s fit might as well just go for 35s.

    Oh no worries here man, you came to the right place!

    It will all make sense in time.

    There are SOOOOOOOOOOO many different options and variations

    AAAAAAAAAAND no 2 trucks are the same

    So a lot of this is trail and error

    Something that works for me, may not work for you...and visa versa
