this ^ at that height you better not tell us you are running stock axles with 33's or 35's. fullwidth with 37's or 38's with that height.

ORO and TERA only suggest up to 6". you are looking at a custom setup

A little expensive but seems like your best bet. I might go with this setup once I can afford it.
