Default RK 2.5 Max Travel System Pic Request

*Please move if I put this in the wrong spot, ty.*

I ordered this lift but it won't be in for over a month If anyone is running this I would love to see some pics and get some feedback on it. Was also curious as to what the actual lift gains are. Thanks

On a 2012, you will need a new front drive shaft because of the exhaust crossover. On earlier year models, you might get by for a while with the stock drive shaft.

Yes 35s. You could probably run 37s with flat fenders no problem.

heres mine, love it!! great lift, and great company to deal with, very happy so far, ended up with about 4 3/4" in the front and about an inch less in the rear (stock bumpers, so will go down a little with aftermarket heavy bumpers)
