I really was pleasantly surprised by my ride quality after the lift, I dont think I gain a bunch of body roll and it looks a hell of a lot better. I would recommend this lift to you for sure.

well i don't care about the ride that much because i know the lift will kill my ride comfort, the reason im gettin it is because i need a little more mobility in the woods and i ain't got the money to get a 4wd so i was gonna get that 6" Rough Country with 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers

Haha I gotcha. Just thought maybe after you got your answer you just weren't comin back .


4x4s don't really cost more than 2wd from my experiences, but there are a few things you can do to make your 2wd better off road. I'm not a huge expert on what they are, but I know they exist. Forget what the mod is called, something about locking. Someone should chime in here that can help you out more. The lift and tires are a good start though. Although, with the 4.7, going with 35" tires I think you might want to get new gears. Think I remember reading something about the 4.7 struggling with those big ol' mudding tires and stock gears.

Programmer would help with power, hp and torque, but it isn't going to help with traction like a locker would do, as well as the tires you are planning on getting
