Yeah, it looked like the best one in my research. I don't want to go bigger than 4" b/c as you or someone stated earlier, it puts too much strain on cv joints and other components. Friends of mine have made complaints about bearings and joints and other stuff wearing out quicker than normal b/c they have 6' or bigger lifts. Not sure if there's any truth to it but it seems to be what they all think and it makes sense. I have the reg PC ATs on my '01 and the first set lasted about 48,000 mi and this 2nd set has lasted about 38,000 with minimal tread wear.

As mentioned earlier, the Rough Country 4"-5" lift is the one I want also. This is where i found it:

Does anybody have this one? I just got a pro comp leveling kit. Can it be used with this rough country kit?
