If you are interested in our Rock Krawler Systems, any 2.5" system would fit perfectly for you and they are all easily upgraded to even a long arm system!

Good Luck with your build.

That is correct, obviously the more rough you are with it, the shorter it will last. My main concern is that the 3.73 gears (i have them also) are gonna be sluggish so I'm on the fence between 33's and 35's

When you upgrade your driveshafts you shouldn't have to worry about any problems because of the improved angle.

Ok that's what I thought. Yeah I'm a little worried about the gearing as well I guess i could always re-gear in the future if it was to sluggish. Btw since you said you were looking at a 3" lift also, I spoke with the rancho rep on this forum and they are releasing a 3" sport lift today, it should be in the large online stores within a month, and it is also eligible for their shock and awe promotion.
