I am at about 3.5" of lift with 40's on a double triangulated set up.
^^This! Co4lo is my hero.

I agree with Dirtman on this. If you have the ability or funds, skip the aftermarket long arm kit. Most leave too much to be desired in my opinion. A custom setup is a lot of work, but the results are better than anything off the shelf.
If you don't have the ability for full custom, really decide what you want it to do. In my opinion a long arm isn't necessary until you are over 4" of lift, or in excess of 12" wheel travel.
Good luck with the build.
