I will say, if going tall right away you need adjustable components. Thus why I stated it is going to cost more. If you're going that direction from the start, I commend you. Post pictures!

Buy a separate high steer kit to go with it and you should be fine. Otherwise you are going to really hate the handling characteristics on the highway.....

....and you'll also need a ProCal or similar device to program the larger tire size you'll be going up to....

If I was targeting 4in of lift, I think I personally would go with a 2.5" spring lift, combined with a 1.5" Body lift. Seems like a safer more economical route to me.

Agree you will need steering correction.

If you paid $2700 for the Teraflex kit, you could have gotten much better components going with something like a MetalCloak or JKS lift. Better springs, better shocks, better control arms in my opinion.....

Even the AEV which comes with the high steer kit would have saved you quite a bit of money if you wanted to keep the stock control arms
