I'll throw in another vote for the TnT kit, i love it and one of the awesome things is that its completely bolt on and it comes with a huge belly skid for protection.
hell i ran 6" of lift for one run and it scared the shit out of me. brought my height down to about 3" and have been much happier and more capable.
this is on 37's btw

. I get full flex running 35's with no bumpstops

guess what your shocks are doing
Let me rephrase that. I can get more travel than you because I don't run bumpstops. Yeah my shocks are bottoming out but well after your bumpstops do. You either need to trim more to run your set up (because your rubbing) or you run TONS of bumpstops which makes no sense to me. Then you just take away from all your movmement. I will say that I think you have good pics and your rig looks okay. No manufacter recommends 37's on 3" of lift and there is a reason for that. You just showed us why.

umm, while i agree that the rear wheelwells are a little small for 37s uncut, .
OH NO MY TIRES SLIGHTLY RUB ITS THE END OF THE WORLD
truth is. if i had a rig on 37's with twice my suspension height and i wanted to keep my tires out of the fenders i would need to run just as much bumpstop as i do now.
i gladly trade a couple inches of suspension compression and height for;
-better suspension geometry, having your control arms more parralel to the ground mean that your tires will crawl up steep ledges with more ease than if they are angled and the rear axle is pushing those links more vertical
- less weight transfer, the taller your rig is the more the weight will hover over the rear tires when climbing obstacles, having your front tires floating on an obstacle while all the weight is over the rear tires doesn't help you much. same goes for when you may be having trouble finding traction on a hillclimb, the rig can get into a bouncing rythm, the taller and softer the suspension the rig has the worse off you are.
- lower center of gravity, this can be argued to an extent, but when off camber i will be much more stable than a taller rig
I do everything you are doing in those pics with 8" lift. Remember your caption "do this with 8" of lift"... well I do. Whatever with your "weight hovering over rear tires" and "better suspension geometry". My control arms are just as flat as yours. You write this stuff like your some friggin engineer. You been wheeling for how long? Personally I don't care if your tires slice from rubbing too much into your body, that's your business. In addtion if you doubled your suspension you still wouldn't have enough room to run 37's. I thought you were running 40's for a while? Hmm I bet that went well. :speepin:
the rear wheelwells fit those tires just about perfectly right now. i would like to open them up a little more over the winter and squeeze a little more suspension compression out of my back end along with raising my upper shock mounts and maybe moving my axle rearward an inch or so to give me some breathing room back there. but i have no major issues running them how it is now
