Yeah diddo on what ryan said, the longer radius arms will help and improve the suspension preformance a good bit (you wil get the max amount of travel out of the lift), and be sure to get it aligned immediatlym, but then after you've broken in the new springs i would go and get it aligned once more as the springs should settle a bit.

I guess it depends on your perspective. We did a friends truck with a rough country 4" and 32s. It isn't that bad. I guess you guys can decide.

A little small, but a whole lot better than a 4" and 235s

My truck stock with 30's looks like it needs bigger shoes. My girlfriend even told me that a while back. She's ENCOURAGING me to go bigger. Gotta love her...

I'm going to be going from my 30x950 Mud tires to a set of free 31x1050 All terrains. Hey..I just drive highway =P. I'll have to find a cheap set of steelies to mount the 30" tires back onto for if (when) I go with Rob to the mud drags. Or steal his old 34" tires he has and put them on - and not turn more then a half turn either side lol.
