    Yeah, that's why I said you might want to rethink it.

    You never answered if you're 4wd or prerunner. If 4wd good luck getting 4" from any lift other than a drop bracket.

    What is your reasoning behind getting 4" lift?

    My thoughts exactly. Either limit it to 3" or take the $$ plunge and go 6" with the DB lift.

    Sounds like you're in the wrong thread then. I'd go check out some DB lift threads if you want over 3" with after market accessories on your truck.

    Had a great install day! This setup is the real deal and I can't thank this thread enough for a good amount of the information that helped me decide on this kit. TW FTMFW

    Make sure that ebrake cable is routed to the side of the leaf pack, not the top. Looks great!

    Any one have the OME medium kit? I'm looking into it but just wanted some feedback before I pull the trigger. I've got a shell with sleeping platform in the bed but no armor or bumper yet. Long range I'm planning to get a bumper in the front and a rack on top of the shell. Most of the time I do easy-moderate trails, no rock crawling or anything like that.

    Thanks for the input
