    If your not getting the OME shocks that come with it it. Then you'll be best off waiting and installing the packs then measuring for the correct lenght. If they only give 2.25'' of lift then regualar 5100s should be okay. But if its more lift then some longer 5125s might be needed.

    Yes that will look great. 33x12.5s will require trimming. 32s should be great.

    Hehe im getting 5 33x12.5s for that plus wheels :D but i have sources hehe

    but yea i know that the 4 cyl can struggle with the 33s, but you could always regear to 4.88s to help solve that..

    I have 33X12.5's on my truck and stock gears (4.10) and it doesn't do too bad; I can accel up to 90 on the highway in 5th (slowly...lol) I run about 2800rpms at 70mph in 5th gear.

    But I will be going back down to a 31 or 32, so I cant wait to see how much pep this 4 banger should have.
