Looks awesome! Did you use new LCA's or brackets?

Any reason as to why you would post a pic of 38's when the post specifically states "35's". Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
Every thread has that guy. It happens

How do you like that so far? I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on that but sticking to spacers instead of springs and RC shocks.

Did you get a driveshaft? Or is it fine with only lite wheeling?

I went ahead and replaced the front with an Adams 1350, if you are sticking to pavement and trail use you might be okay for a while. I figured I might as well go ahead and get it out of the way. There is no contact as long as you are not working the suspension.

How are you liking this lift setup? Did you go with the front spring correction perches? The Rocksport shocks threw me off, but I’ve read pretty good reviews on them. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Absolutely love it, I did not use correction perches. It rides better than stock on the road and has handled everything I have come across off road without issue. (disclaimer: I do not rock crawl and most of my off road is deer lease, nasty portions none the less.) Bottom line, I have no regrets going with this kit and these shocks.

Metalcloak seems to be the only company recommending driveshafts after lift. Even on a 2.5 inch lift they recommend it which is interesting.
