if you don't mind doing alot of trimming I would stay at 4-4.5 with some 37-40's especially being from Cally (my home town) by the time you swap axles and rims with tires you are constantly gaining height stay as low as you can with as much flex as you can get. are you in .socal? mile marker 41 was my proving grounds I love that trail.

Yah 4.5 is as high as I wanna go. And a 33 would be my ideal size. Yeah I'm in SoCal. Ridgecrest to be exact. Plenty of good trails out here!!

I say loose the swaybar tighten all the front end bolts and a new dampener. A double shear track bar would be the best option look at the IRO double shear track bar little more then you wanna spend but I think its worth it.

Nice and if you have 33s or bigger the dual dampener set up might be better then the single one. Its actually suggested you run the dual dampener set up with 32s from everything Iv read on them.

You need to stop reading info were you are. Dual dampners hide issues. With a proper steering setup a dampner is not needed
