I know this isn't common here but I'm curious if anyone has installed this type of setup, obviously with a lift. If so please post pics and some info as far as fitment and what may need to be trimmed.

I plan to run the 6" rough country lift. This kit fits my budget for the look I'm going for.

Right now I'm working on getting quotes for lift install and 5.13 gear install as well.

3.5" skyjacker coil spring lift. I added the high top front fenders and chopped the rear ones. I bought the Metalcloak lower front control arms to extend my castor and also installed the RR Arcus stubby bumper. It works perfectly with no rubbing on normal driving lock to lock. My wheels have an -25mm backspacing.

Perfect info thank you. Exactly what i was looking for. I'm on the fence to what lift to get. Was just checking out the skyjacker.

For wheels I'm looking at a 24x14 with -76 offset so I should fit fine then.

If you have the extra scratch I would recommend getting a better lift. I've already replaced the control arms, track bar and shocks that came with the kit. It hasn't been a bad lift but I developed DW about 15k miles into it which required a lot of upgrading to straighten out. I've been very pleased with the Metalcloak components that I purchased.

Good to know. Honestly I'm good with doing some upgrades along the way. Just can't get a $4k lift at the start.

The skyjacker was one of the only lifts available back in the Summer of 2019 but I likely wouldn't have been willing to spend too much at that time either. I think I was all in on the lift kit and installation for ~$1300.
