Another option you might want to consider since you have a 2 dr sport is finding some springs of a 4 door with hardtop and towing package. If you are getting spring due to heave bumpers/winch you can gain up ti 2" by swaping springs, if you are still running mostly stock you can mor realisticly expect 1"-1.5" of lift. you can usually find take offs on ebay, craigs list and in the forum for sale section for less than $100.

There is alot of in for here

I haven't trimed the pinch seem yet but should. The back tire rubbs at full flex in that area in about a 4" patch. The tires do not hit the fenders at all. I now have a shrokworks bumper and winch in the front which put the rake back in but no issues up front.

I also went the leveling kit, 35's and flat fender route. I also have a bit of rubbing in the rear at full flex. The tire doesn't hit the flair, but inside the wheel well. Will probably add some bumpstops to the rear only.

Heres what I plan on running:

Teraflex 2.5" BB with TF Shocks
C Gussets
17x8 Pro Comp 7005's
General Grabbers in 35 x 12.5

Does anyone see a problem with this setup? Will I have to trim anything to work properly? Ill get a procal too to adjust for increased tire size.
