I am wanting to do the same thing but do not wheel very often. About the only time I wheel is vacation time in Colorado. So should I go with the shock extensions or the kit with shocks??

If you have the Rubi, use the extensions...

My vote is for theTF.make sure to get the bigger springs and shocks.You could always add a 1" body lift to get a Lil bigger.

Ok it's done, lift is on along with 35x12.50x17 Nitto Trail Grapplers M/T on XD black rims.
It when on great, took about 4hours, but I had a lift. It would have been much harder with only jacks.
Centered the wheel and used the flashpaq to reset the tire size and all good.
First test drive went great, drives great very nice so far. It really looks great. Pictures soon.
Thanks for all the great advice.

With full disclosure I did have two master techs helping and use of a full shop. The kit is really very stright forward. The Trans Jack along with a lift made all the difference in the world.

After driving for two days I really like it BUT I just changed the steering dampner and WOW it should be included in the kit. I feel like you should not do it without upgrading the dampner. I was going to put the duals on but 4wheel parts said I only needed the single. What a difference it made, really improved the driving over bumpy roads. The 35s were the right choice and I love the looks and driving of it. Can't wait to get it off-road.

Pro-comp esv 5200 I think, it was only 30 dollars, what a difference it made.

I'm going with 35X12.5X17 tires.
If there is another brand that I should be looking at please advise, trying not to make costly mistakes and do it right the first time...........
tera flex has great customer service to go with a great product!
