Well after recently installing a TGC 2.5" Level I realized it wasn't enough. So purchased a Rancho 4" kit. I also purchased RS9000XL shocks all around. Got a heck of a deal on the shocks.

Reason for purchasing this kit was lift height. I wanted to go as high as possible while still fitting in my garage. This kit also includes a 1 peice welded subframe and came with brakelines, kicker braces and was the only kit (under $2,000) that required 1 simple cut of the crossmember bracket. No other modifications are needed. I unfortunately purchased brand new 285 toyo tires that I may or may sell depending on how it looks. I will eventually go to a Toyo Open Country A/T 2 LT 305/70/17 (34x12x17) which I heard fits perfect or even try and fit 315/70/17s if it doesnt require much trimming. I will be running 17x9 +18 offset rims. Now this is the most positive offset that will fit this kit in a 17x9. I will have a tad over 1/4" clearance between the rim and knuckles which is anither reason i choose this kit, my rims fit. Most other kits require a 0 offset or a negative offset.

The lift itself is 3-4 weeks out due to backorder. I already got the shocks in. I also purchased brand new OEM front springs and the rest of the strut assembly to get it together so when the lift comes I can just swap them out. So I can wait for the kit to arrive to start the process.

I will keep you guys updated when the lift arrives.
