Looks to me like a good set of control arms, drive shafts, and some money on a good sawzall or die grinder instead of buying that big o long arm lift. You have some space in those wheel wells and plenty of lift as it is. I have a 3.5" lift on 35s and could easily fit 38s with some cutting the way my CAs are setup. You definitely need some CAs in the rear to get that axle back a bit for some clearance. Just my opinion, buy the 40s, and some good parts, you can make it work as she stands.

Don't understand my setup is on the right side 3.5inch lift. His is on the left side 6 inch lift my clearance from the top of the tire is more than his. Granted his tires are newer than mine but still he has a "six" lift and mine is 3.5 inches. Why do I have more clearance? I wonder if he has the 4knch long arm not the six.... So dam confused input from everyone appreciated

A long arm will give you a better smoother ride. IF like anything else it is set up properly. Most kits are not.

Must be. Ha ha. I can't even think how one of those clown rigs drive with messed up geometry. Mine was very noticeable and I was just outside "recommended spec". Added the teraflex sport control arms and i am very very happy with control on road, as well as off. And the added benifit of stronger arms too.
