the only thing about getting 3" out of the torsion tweak is tire wear/cv angle. Whats the camber on a tire thats been cranked that much, and hows the CVs look

I took it to Firestone immediatley after installation. Camber was still in spec, caster was out a little.

They aligned and all is well. Third time I have done it, so far no ill effects. (other than ride quality)

CV's look ok.

4" Rancho kit installed in '05. I just had a tie rod end get a little sloppy on me, first issue I've ever had in 5+ years. Called Rancho, they are sending me out not one, but two tie rod ends to replace both sides FREE OF CHARGE! Can't beat that for customer service.

Also have the FCIIs since the same time, 5 years, 31k miles and they may be down about 10%.

Only difference from what you are looking to do is that I have the Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels (Cepeks were not out at the time). You should like the Cepeks, like the Mickey's, they have among the best strength to weight ratios in the industry.

4" of lift gives plenty of room for articulation with 35" tires, the tire well still looks fairly full, and most important to me, leaves the bed height useable, especially for loading the ATV...
