    I went with an OME suspension lift for under 1K and I love it. I got 2.5" front / 2" rear and it rides great.

    I didn't need UCAs for my lift as posted above. It aligned great.

    That looks good. I'm worried about mine looking to small. I'd like to go up to a 275 70 17

    Yes.

    If moneys a concern, stick to 5100s or comparable and get a decent set of rear leafs to match (full, and NOT all pro). Check out @Blackout14 offerings. That handle most of your off road desires without breaking the bank.

    I think the size I'm running now (31.6") looks good on this amount of lift, but a little more looks better which is why I'm gonna go up to 255/85 which is 33" roughly. I don't know about 275 width, fitting that would probably require the right combination of rim offset and caster but it's probably not as bad as it is with 285 with. Good luck with that man.

    275/70r17 will be the next BFG KO2s I put on to replace my stock size 265/65r17s.

    With the budget you have you could do the OME lift with Dakar leafs and pay for your new 275's, would look great. If you cant correctly describe the function of a reservoir shock you don't need reservoir shocks. OME is great stuff and well priced. Make sure you get an OME kit that comes with all the small add-on parts that you need for the lift. Pay the $100 for strut assembly with new top hats.

    I've been watching it for about a month and I think this is your best bet. All the parts you need and free shipping. I think its $1388 OTD if you get the strut assembly.

    Replace the stock UCA, or you take the chance of it hitting the coil and they bend. Good luck.

    This is what happens with a lift and the stock UCAs. Good luck.
