I wish I could get mine lower. If I go any lower my tracbar hits my oil pan and my axle at the same time.

Does adding long arms offer any more lift?

Nice. I'm gonna have to look into that. I may piece together a 4.5" lift. Already got 3" but want a little more.
Thanks for the quick responses.

Long arm kits require 4+ inches. There are some ppl on the forum running a long/medium arm setup at 3"

Now that I'm home I have a few more pictures.

5 inches of lift and 35's.
Not much uptravel but it still flexes great.
