Default Lift Ques ???

Can someone tell me if this is a good and complete kit or if you suggest something else that is affordable that would be great.

http://www.roughcountry.com/dodge_4wd_94-01_5.html

Also with this kit it says you need 4 1/2 backspacing, but on the M/T website for a 15x10 rim the only backspacing they have is 3 5/8 ?

Also I would love to see some pics and what backspacing you are running.

Is anyone running the Baja Claw radials ?

although i do not have experience with that particular kit, i do have alot with rough country, and they make great suspension components. Complete kits that have installs that are as easy as they come.

as far as the backspacing, that is the recomended spacing, does not mean that a smaller backspacing will not work. i am sure those mt wheels will be just fine.

baja claw radials are very good street tires, although they are a fairly agressive tread they do pretty well with street wear.

I would see if they had an option to get new rear leaf springs instead of the lift block.

It has a 7 inch suspension and 3 inch body. In the pic, the rims are 15x10 with 4 inches of backspacing.

less backspacing puts more wheel/tire outwards. (sticks out more)
