Default What do you think of the setup I am getting

Getting a new setup in two weeks.

Going with the rough country 2.5 inch suspension lift (springs and the 2.2's...not a huge fan but don't dislike them). Got the exhaust extension, track bar rear bracket, and adjustable front track bar.
Going with Mickey Thompson MTZ 305/70r16s on black procomp wheels



Was contemplating a 35 but figured a 33 (32.8 or whatever) still gives me what I want. Daily driver...3.21 gears....

Do you guys think the procal is worth getting for the small change in tire size?

I would go with 35s but that's me. But that setup will work fine.

I thought about 35's but I figured that going with an entry level lift right now and having the 3.21, this is probably the safest route...and still gives me the look I am going for. In a few years I can upgrade the lift, put on 35's, and what not....tackle some more when the vehicle is paid off.

I would check into the shocks a little more. I don't know a whole lot about the 2.2s but the Bilsteins are not real expensive and get good reviews for on road comfort.

Northridge 4X4 is my go-to guys for parts and advice. Give them a call
