Being that I have a full size front bumper with the wrench and looking to get a rear with a new tire carrier mount for the back door.. should I opt for the fox or would it really not make too much of a difference with thus mentioned. Don't k ow what you heavy qualifies as.

Well, you're already a step ahead of the game here. Most people show up after purchasing a lift and experiencing problems, THEN they kinda realize what they bought wasn't ideal. You've gotten good responses above, and I'd add another +1 for Metalcloak. Might keep in mind a future budget for steering upgrades along the way.......something many don't think about when lifting and increasing tire size. Factory BJs are a common wear issue.

Any recommendations and advice. Assuming that is just a typical thing and not too much you could possibly do to prevent quick ware.... im only going to run 33s since I only have the sport why I honestly did not want a 3k+ lift due to the fact not wanting to go into gear changing and the whole 9 yards that comes with the 35+.... I been told I can ride 35 but l assumed it would break down faster than the 33s would... this is my learning curve.

that's how I ended up buying from them. It won't happen again though. Price was good service was terrible and not worth it to me.

I was thinking about adding this to my order or do you think it is not needed? Just came across it.

I prefer to just cut and rotate the factory perches. I just did that for a customer today.
