Default getting lifted

Ok im about to order my long arm kit and tires wheels.
See how this sounds ..
And yes ive done a lot of comparing I prefer a 4 link over a 3 and 1 radius arm wont work for me ...

Bds 6.5" long arm with fox shocks trans armor etc..$3050 shipped
http://bds-suspension.com/kit-customizer?kid=455H

Clayton would be my 2nd option ..I just dont feel comfortable doing that much welding on a uni body. .and I wish it was 4link and the cross brace seems small not much surface actually on frame ..
About same cost as bds..

Tires
Gy mt/r kevlar 33x12.5r15
On 15x8 alum classics 3.75 b.s.

Im thinking this set up will give me room to grow into bigger tires later.

I'd like a shorter lift but other than that it seems you have a nice set-up in mind.

Don't forget the SYE and Drive shaft.
