wouldnt that require me to crank the chit out of my suspension though?

Crank your suspension ? No, the Rancho 4" lift kit or the Superlift 4.5" lift both drop your front diff to maintain stock suspension angles and steering geometry. With the right wheel BS and minor trimming of the front valance you will be able to clear the 35" tires.

or, for less money, you could go with the basic 6" fabtech and get all new shocks instead of spacers. that'd be my recommendation.

If you go with a Fabtech 6" kit with Coilovers, or the Pro Comp Kit with Coilovers, you can safely achieve about 7"-7.5" of lift in the front. I got about 7.2 inches of lift with my ProComp kit and the angles are still in factory spec.

Rize makes a great product. Fabtech makes a great product. Pro Comp Makes a great product.

I have spoken to people that have a solid 70,000 miles on Fabtech and Procomp kits with limited problems. (New ball joints were needed, but thats it)

If you have the money go with the 8" Rize, you will be completely satisfied. If you are on a budget go with Procomp or Fabtech stage II kit. Great kits as well for the money.

Pics in my gallery to give you an idea.
Copenhagen, or anyone else in MI for that matter... Is that true, a 6" with 35's is too big to be street legal? I've got a 3" Body Lift right now with 35s and was seriously considering throwing a 4" suspension lift on this summer. Am I inviting the cops to pull me over with that set up? I primarily wanted the 4" suspension and not a 6" suspension lift because I think the 35s will still look good.

Sorry to jack the thread but any help is appreciated...
