I'm leaning towards that lift as well. I'm also considering the Wildpeaks, maybe with a 16" wheel. I'll stay tuned!

[Edit: I'm going with 35s, maybe a 3.5" is too big?]

Started the lift tonight... Got most of the front finished. Everything went in pretty smooth. Only issue was that the teraflex upper bump stops were too wide for the new RK triple rate springs to slide over. So I trimmed them a bit... I'll hopefully finish up the front and the back tomorrow after work...
