Rear spring from rc are to short, they are working on the problem but its still there for the time being I say zone sadly even though I love rc, zone has the better leafs, THAT SAID the best flex short ARM 4.5 lift is going to be normal 4.5 in front but 3.5 springs rear with a 1" shackle or a 2.5 spring with a 2 inch shackle but then your lossing departure angles so its up to you, if you have any questions fell free to ask
So pretty much what I could do to get a good SA kit is lower my spending on the X-Series RC Kit with rear add a leafs and then Call Zone to get there leaf and shackels?

Yes. 4.5 with 33s and cut fenders is pretty standard.
