Well, it's unanamous so far! I thought the 4" would be the better choice, but had to check with the experts! Looks like there's a 4" suspension lift in my future. I'm going to order a Teraflex, or Superlift, or Clayton, or Full Traction, or Currie, or Rock Crawler..........

I think a 4" Scott but am not knocking bodylifts, just removed my 2" BDS BL and am happier but I'm a manual so I had my reasons, plus I just like it better looks wise now. The 3" w/1" BL may save you some money on driveshafts unless you're an auto and you may still have rubbing on the front crossmember regardless (could be wrong).
4" IMO.

Clayton is what you want
Let me save you some time . Clayton 3.5" kit is hands down is the best kit out there for its money, that with a set of 5100's you will be more then happy. Trust me this is the kit everyone should have. Remeber you get what you pay for, if you want the cheap way out then have at.

I have a 4 door auto, and plan on replacing at least the front driveshaft at the same time I install the lift, along with at least adjustable front lower and rear upper control arms. Price wise, there would be very little difference going with the 3" + body lift or 4" since the savings going to the 3" would pretty much be used up on the body lift. I'm really leaning toward just going ahead with the 4" suspension lift unless somebody chimes in with a real good reason not to.
...man I wish I lived in Colorado..you guys have so many places to wheel it's crazy.
