Thats better then the 2900 at 65 I'm running with my 33s. I just ordered my 35" MTR/Ks. Hopefully they will bring my rpms under control. If they aren't here in a couple of weeks, I'll switch to the KM2s.

So how much do they usually charge to sleeve and gusset an axle? I am not sure if I want to do gears and a locker first or front bumper/rear bumper and winch

Is that just the 2.5in TF lift or do you have spacers too? It looks pretty sharp!

Thanks guys, I really like it. I've got the speedometer calibrated right at 34". I need to get Chris to clock me and verify it, but I think its pretty close.

I am only running the TF coils. When I got them, there was only the one kit for both 2 and 4 doors. They gave me about 3.25" with my bumpers and winch.
