RC 4" lift/discos and TF bumpstops
Does anyone that is running the RC 4" lift with 35's have clearance issues with the stock fenders at full flex with the swaybars disconnected. Since I've added my discos it does seem to be really close when flexed. I haven't really wheeled hard since I put on the discos and I'm worried that the shock bumpstops will not be enough at full flex. I will probably be picking up a set of Teraflex bumpstop extensions before hitting the trail next month just to make sure. Would anyone know if these will work and should I get front and rear.

Ya they will work... But the question is how bad are you rubbing? Like is it just touching at full flex, or is it more like your ripping off the fender?
If it is just touching at full flex i wouldn't worry to much about it.

The tires haven't touched yet but it's almost rubbing. I not sure if I was even at full flex so that has me concerned. I think I need 3" extensions in the front and back for the 35's.

I had mine fully flexed out after the 4'' rc lift and 35 were installed to check clearances and it does touch the inner fenders but is not enough to rip off the outer fenders.

I have seen those post also but the sagging problem is coming from the 2.5 coil lift.... I dont think I have read anything bad about the 4in kit.. When I do my lift I plan on going with the RC 4in X-series lift.... Is there any thing els you would suggest with the lift?
Im from way north about 15 min from the Wisconsin border... you go to the badlands at all?

I bought the 4'' lift i think it lists fore $499 and when I bought it i also bought the sway-bar diconects and the single steering stabilizer then later bought the second optional dual steering stabilizer which if you figure the prices on their site if you buy them separate its cheaper. also if you buy the base 4'' kit and find the part # for the control arms in the PDF for the other kits you'll find out that they jack the price way up for all 8 which are like 200 bucks or something like that. Hope this helps. And I havent made it up to badlands yet buy i'd like to.
