Lift'n it up soon.

After today, Im set on gettin the 3" skyjacker kit.

I had a friend call me up asking if I could come pull him out. He was driving a car.... dont ask... Well, I had to cross a deep ditch to get to his car and I bottomed out both times going through it. The first time I went through, I fotgot I had the reese hitch still in and I bottomed out on it. I had to reverse and try it again. I broke the locking pin that was holding it in place...
I tried going through again and the hitch hole still drug the ground and the valance up front scraped the ground..... Long story short... It going higher.

After looking at all the kits available, I think I will just go with SkyJacker 3"... I only have a 2wd, so the 6" is over kill for me, and the Rancho is just too expensive.

Im not planning on changing wheels, but I do plan on 33" AT tires when the crappy Hankooks wear out.

Anyone running the 3" wanna chime in on how it rides?
