Default Lift question?
Installing a 3" TF lift tomorrow with shocks and full flex arms, I currently have a 1.5 leveling kit installed. Would it be over kill to leave one 1" spacer up front and the 1" in the back to essentially make a 4" lift? I am running 35's now.

Yeah kind of what I figured just thought since I had them. Maybe I can just pass the leveling kit to someone else at a good deal just like I got.

I talked with TF, they said to use them. It helps to keep the rear springs in place when you flex. However, I mat be interested if the price is right.
