I went with the 4" kit because of all the weight of bumpers/ winches/ and other stuff. My final outcome is awsome. You will need to eventually replace your drive shafts. I have the auto and the front drive shaft did rub on the tranny. But, that didn't happen untill I made clearances to my trans skid plate. I used to get the drive shaft hung up on it. So, I cut it. Then my driveshaft hit the tranny. I now have a new drive shaft being made. Which ever one you buy. Get the Bilstien shocks. You only really need the 3" kit for 35's. But, it all depends on what you want and what you are going to do with it.

If you are never going to go above 35" tires go with the Black Diamond. If you may go bigger in the future then go with the 4" Superlift. If I were to buy the kit I would get the upgraded shocks (the Bilstein mid grade ones), adjustable rear track bar, and lower control arms. After checking the flex you may decide you need the extended brakelines too, but I would wait until you can check for sure. If you need them just don't wheel until you get them.
