It would help if we knew your tire size and kind of flares you will be running.

Ya thats what I did and is the best way to determine the proper length. With 37x13.5 tires with flatties I ended up being 2" in the front and 3" in the back. I could probably knock a 1/2 off each and still be good.

I would PM the RK rep on the forum. He should be able to help. If I had to guess I would say 2 in the front and 3 out back with stock flares and 35".

I was told by there rep that for every inch you go up you need to match it with the size of the bump stop!! Example you lift it three inches your bump stop should be three inches!! I've got a 3.5 mid arm x factor when I called teraflex I was told that two inches should be more than enough!! I went however with 2.5 inch bumpstops
