yeah my leafs did sag a little but... the block they sent with the kit was atmost 3/4 of an inch taller than the one that was in there. i did buy an AAL and install it but still sits lower than the front.
its not the control arms im rubbing on though its the pinch weld right inside the fender.

i'd like to add one more thing. i installed my 4.56 gears a year or 2 ago while i was running 33's and i absolutely loved the setup, now with the 35's im not nearly as happy. i would go with 4.88s. 4.56s with 35's puts you back to stock the 4.88s would give you a little more off the line and a little more for uphill doing freeway speeds. and yes its alot of work to do the gears yourself but in my opinion not nearly as demanding as the lift was. just have someone with you that knows what they're doing.

Anyone else have any opinions on 4.56's vs 4.88's? The average speed limit in my town is 45mph, but I occasionally drive to my parents home which varies from 55-70 mph. Will both allow me to drive home at those speeds without any worries? If it'll give me more get up and go then I would really like it because as is it's a slug and that little bit of extra umph would be nice for getting around town.

4.88's all the way. The highway rev difference will be minimal, but the torque gain down low will be noticeable.

I would do the 4.88's with 35 inch tires....

I plan on going to 4.56 when I upsize to 33's. Not gonna do any lift on mine.
