Upon researching it seemed that the RC 3.5 Vertex lift was a decent route to go. So I ordered lift wheels and tires. Decided to tackle it this weekend and I have to say it’s not a “hard” install but for a fat guy with floor jacks and Jack stands working by himself it’s a hard install , that mixed with the crappy instructions that RC gives… Either way happy with how it turned out, should be decent off-road while still being able to be daily drive comfortably.
    (Also my son would absolutely help, but he owns a MX photo/video business and had a big race weekend to film)
    Lift
    Rough Country 3.5” coilover lift with rear leaf spring lift, and Forged Upper control arms

    Wheels
    Method Race Wheels MR312 17x8.5

    Tires
    RDR Mud Terrain 33x12.50r17

    Oh look, another mod....

    Ahh yes, the tax-deduction that comes with being a parent. For years my father has (jokingly of course) called me and my siblings "His three little tax credits".
