Thanks for the suggestions guys! I admit I also want the M/T's and rims for looks
.
The HighRock doesn't look as sturdy to me in the picture. Have you had any problems with your's?
You're the first person I have heard of that had problems with them
. You mind if I ask how recently you had these problems? And what control arms are you running now?
.
I am looking at going with a 3" lift and 35" and price wise I am almost $1K less than you.
Here are my thoughts:
Ditch the new wheels and run spacers on your current wheels. (Save ~$600)
AEV Pro-Cal to correct the computer. (Save ~$200)
Unless you want the OR-FAB carrier you could go with with the Bestop (HighRock 4x4) tire carrier. (Save ~$250)
So by my executive math that could reduce the cost by $1050.
If you are going to be on the road 95% of the time why go with a M/T? You might be able to lower that price by going with an A/T.

i would not recommend the rough country arms. the bushing seemed to be very cheap and i went through 3 sets of them in 2 months. spend your money right on that stuff.

Sounds good.... Someone mentioned use spacers instead of new wheels.... Don't do it!!! Get the new wheels and those Nitto Trail Grapplers M/T are sweet looking tires too.
Wheel spacers aren't all safe.... If you go that route make sure you spend more and get quality ones.
Sell your stock tires and rims..., I sold mine in 3 days for $900 couldn't made moe if I waited. Good luck.,,

I do not yet have it as I have just finalized my plan and will be ordering my lift and equipment in the next week or so. If you are saying that 95% of your driving in on road as long as the tire is properly braced I would not think there would be a problem. for the wheeling take off the spare and leave it at base camp.
