Cool, u was also thinking about running 30s and stock bumpers

I'm not sure what size lift he has that is why I said you need to pick out the shocks for the size lift you have.

Alright, well I had a used 5.5 lift ready to go on and now my parents say I can't lift it any higher. It has a 3" rc lift on it now. So what I was thinking was replace my rc leafs with the 3.5" re leafs, replace my control arms with the nicer ones and throw a .75 spacer up front. Thoughts?

Why can't you just use the 5.5 lift?
