His original post says 3 in rustys but I am curious what it measured from the center of the hub to the bottom of the flair

The rustys 3 inch kit netted me 4-4.5 Inches. Rusty himself "warned" me when I called to order that most of te time his products sit higher. I was at 21.5 inches hub to flare. Shackled n spaced 24 on the dot.

Now that makes sense just remember that most lifts settle so just be careful with bigger tires

The only bad part of 35s is when u flex the are as big as the wheel well and some minor trim may be needed
