DiscoDino said:On 35s and 36s, my truck was running OMEs (2.5" lift) springs and shocks, RTE body lift, and the ECR/LRA flares...in all honesty, the body lift is not necessary for 35s and you can get away with 2-3" lift, flares and that's that...
My philosophy is to keep things simple...flex is over-rated, and for <37" tires, 10-14" shocks are the max, that's why i stick to off the shelf items like the OME...no custom driveshafts, and steering geometery is somewhat sustained...
Can provide you with more info if needed...

RoverRideAlong said:Thanks everyone.
What I am looking at is getting the full RTE 5" kit with Bilsteins 7100s, front and rear toy conversion with 4.88, elockers, and maybe 8x15 steelies with 35x12.5s......

No rear links?

DiscoDino said:Would not recommend the hi pinion rear - stick to the low pinion...you need all the strength you can get in the rear of the 8" ring gear...
Simply put RTE's A-Arm extension and your pinion will point more upwards...you won't need a new drive line with <3" lift...
RoverRideAlong - would not suggest you go 5"...that's my personal preference...2-3" and the new rubber flares that don't crack...it'll keep your geometery closer to stock, hence less things to change/go wrong in the future, and, your COG will be 2" lower...which would help a lot...
