    @inksin ok that makes things more clear. Like you i saw that the rc lift costs more than that just in parts so I got a little suspicious there.

    A high quality performance suspension at that height professionally installed will cost another 0 on the end of that quote.

    Ok not tagging OP on this ,but :) if your going 3” you need aftermarket UCA’s!
    33” usually means cab mount chop !
    285/70/17’s are not quite 33”s !

    I just read on another thread that with a 2.5 inch lift I can fit 285/70/17 with no issues at all. Anyone have another opinion?

    No, I did extended brake lines because I wanted them. Diff drop not necessary on gen3, I did not need carrier bearing kit .

    What's your take on the Icon kits?
    What's odd is they have 10 different stages but they are all the sam lift.

    No ..the Fox 2.5” DCS is a very large shock with resivoures and is totally adjustable for firmness .
