Ok thinking of which way to go:

1. 4.5 LA lift with tummy tuck/belly up
2. 6" LA lift

looking to put 35's and regear to 4.88

Input?

Blue one had 6" of lift and 37's. Black on has 4" of lift and 35's.

Just some pictures to help you decide what you want.
Why not go 6" with the belly up? Gives you a lot of room under the jeep to keep from getting high centered.

Personally, I would go 6". Lets you get more flex, and when going through deep water/mud theres less chances of if getting into the cab making for a fun cleanup. Not to mention it gets the intake further away from water as well.

well, me personally i'm going for a low cog rig, so i would go with the 4" and the tummy tuck, i'm going to stay lower at 2.5inches and a tummy tuck then cut up the rear fender wells so i can fit 35's maybe 37's... front fenders are coming off, and remember when doing a tummy tuck you have to add a 1.25in BL so your looking at a little over 5 inches right there with the four inch...

Steve, not until told to do so, and up here in WI they are not worried about it, so as long as I don't get caught doing anything stupid, then not worrying about it.

Curt your missing out, you should leave work and go look it up!!! actually don't worry it will be at ECS.
