just to get this straight then:
even with my electric disco's, I still need the extended links - NOT the quicker disconnects etc, but just regular (adjustable like the curries) to get the swaybar parallel to frame?
trying to make sense of the mechanics of it all

Ok another question, say I add 3/4" or 1" coil spacers front and rear..
I'm looking at different aftermarket shocks now and some ask for "Lift Height" and others are just one uniform length. Any final numbers on actual lift gained from the 3.25 springs?
Would OME LT shocks work well if I have the spacers on?
anyone?

Rusty's has extended rear sway bar links for $39, just tell them how much lift then use tho old rears on the front, works well even with the electric disconnect. I have been using the Rusty's 3.25 lift almost 2 years and have no complaint with thier shocks or any other parts in the lift, the ride is fine on and off road. You should get the adjustable front control arms (I have lowers) and extended brake lines.

Awesome thanks Ralphie.
quick question, how much lift did you specify for your sb-links?
Did you go on the "3.25-lift number", or did you tell them based on how much net lift you gained from the springs?
on that same note, how much actual lift did you get?

man i just got the rustys kit and i like it alot. i got the front lowers and rear uppers also from rustys because they were the least expensive.
rustys has a lift, wheel and tire package that is a great deal. 3.25 kit and 4 17" mt Classic 2s with MT mud terrains for $2,250. that is what sold me on their kit because the shop i was going to get a kit from was quoting $2300 for just the set of 5 wheels and tires.
i had to add the arms to that package but it wasnt too bad really.
if you call rustys and tell them what you are getting, they will let you know which ones you need to get.
all in all i am very happy i got this kit.
the only drawback isnt with the actual kit the instructions are kind of weak. they only covered 3/4 of one page of paper. luckily i had been reading stuff about installs on here and that helped me out alot.
i would alos suggest either extended brake lines or at least some drop brackets. because my rear lines were crazy tight until i dropped them down a bit.

i have a 2 400r and did not want to get over 3.5 of lift so i went with the 2 inch coils and then added 3/4 spacers. Im right at 3.25 with that setup and once it settles im sure ill be at 3 inches
