The whole kit evolves around the 33" tires & wheels so a full leaf with shackles would make the lift install faster

I just like the idea of straight up 5.5" front coils with 4" full leaf replacement and 2" Shackle. That would give it a rake for the street, after all it's not a rock crawler but it will cut thru a street flood & hop curbs with ease.

Would 4.56 or 4.88 be a good fit for MPG ?
Want it to still have some low end 240 ft lb tq

SELL ME SOME 33" RUBBER
If a vendor can beat $600 for set of 33's then step up , like fast lkie now, because I'm buying the wheels and tires then going to figure out the lift.

As you guys Know the cheap bastard rear leaf is some labor but on the other hand full leaf a mechanic can slap on with some full front 5.5" springs, adj LCA's, transfer case drop kit, then later the sye, shaft, u-bolt kit. for the RWD 8.25. Not sure if i need a Ford 8.8 .

What is the special discount for MALLCRAWLERS ?

Tcase drop yes its considered a waste by most of us. CADs on the other hand give Just as much flex as long arms but are more predictable on the road and arent as shakey IMO.
