Yes that is stock.

Ya i might get one soon then. I really didnt wanna do a gauge cluster swap but i wanted an tachometer and oil pressure gauge. Plus the battery one too and a temp gauge lol. All those aftermarket would be spendy from what ive seen of aftermarket gauges.

Yes they definitely would. I actually got that gauge before i ever even heard of a cluster swap, or even CF for that matter. They're pretty easy to hook up, just 3 wires and the light.

i think its a total of 6. im going to still use the extended shackles in the rear. my first kit is rough country also but its only add a leaf. Im thinking that if i get the 3 inch lift springs it will put me where i am now? so go higher?

Well if you are wanting to stay at 6 inches yes go with RC 3 inch full leafs. Or these ( since I can't find just 3 inch springs) won't look to bad with a little extra in the back that's how mine was. Then it settled. http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...egory_Code=XSP

Rc 3 inch packs are the worst thing you could recommend, they are the ones that are too short that rc refuses to fix.

Too short? What do you mean? I have them, my only problem is that they are stiff. Easy fit no problems installing.

You might be thinking of RC's 4.5 leafs. I know those are horribly short and give bad shackle angle.

Maybe, I thought it was the 3 inch ones though, I'm personally against buying anything from a company that knowingly sells defective ****.

Yeah I don't like them much. I just said RC because that was the first one that popped up. I gave him a link to different ones lol.

That's why I'm getting the full leaf 4.5 lift minus the leafs and track bar and substituting RE 3.5 leafs and 1 inch shackle and an IRO double shear trackbar

But like you said it's BS they continue to sell it but im still in high school and have to keep spending low while still doing it right.

My mistake, I thought the 3 inch were the short ones, but I wouldn't buy anything from rough country, purely because of the situation with the 4.5 inch packs. They know that for every pair of defective packs they sell, they are gonna sell a pair of relocation brackets.

That is some ****ing bull****.
