nonetheless, if you already have the lvl kit w/ 35's, your taking a huge chunk out of the quoted price, since you will be running your same tires..

im trying to decide if i want to go w/ 4'' or 6''

yup! Lucky on my part. Also keep in mind that a shop is going to charge around $1000 for the install, its not hard to do on your own if you have the time and access to a lift.

ive been meaning to PM you, but whatever..

1. if you could do it all over again, would you still have gone with the 4'' or 6''

2. what spacers do you need to run the OEM 20'' Wheels for that lift?

Thanks in advance-
Blake

I'd go 4" again for sure, I achieved the exact look I wanted with 35's. You will need 1/4" wheel spacers for the fronts to clear the aftermarket knuckle. I found mine on Ebay, try to stay away from the elcheapo cast ones as the metal can actually compress and cause your wheel to come loose, what you will want is a machined or billet spacer. I do a torque check every oil change and have not found them loose yet.
Here is a link to a set of 4:

Are these the ones that you used? I'm guessing 5X5.5 is the size we need to get? It doesn't say that they are machined, how can you tell?

Not the specific ones I have, I found mine on ebay. It says there they are forged so they are machined out of a forged block of steel. Our wheel bolt pattern is 5x5.5.

Ok, I ordered them. I also order the 4 inch Mopar lift, found it for $1,965 on ebay. I found the same 4 inch Superlift for $1,899 so I got the Mopar name and the warranty/peice of mind for $66. I'm throwing on some BFG All Terrains 37X12.5R20. It will probably be 2-3 weeks till its all here and installed but I will make sure to put up some pictures when it's done.

Thanks for your help.

what wheels do you have? Also what is the exact size of your tires are they 37 12.50s or something different.
