I bought the 3" TF kit from lucky8 just before Christmas, Erik said only thing he really recommends is a front driveshaft with grease fittings. I already have that, so I think I should be good. I'll do the lines at a later time

According to this post, the 3" RTE springs push the D2 up about 4.5"

Thats too much. Is this true?

Like me. :-(
The 2" lift I have is sagging in the front because of my steel bumper and winch.

My RRC with 3" rte springs was closer to 5" The G4 had a 1" lift, the Disco next to that had a 3" lift. My RRC was on the RTE Springs with 235/85

Ok. That helps a ton. I'm looking at the 3" now and I like the ome of course but the deluxe terrafirm 3" from lucky 8 isn't bad at all and priced nice

Love the 235/85's!

Alright then so the RTE 3" sounds like too much. If you look at their 3" kit, they give you 2" front springs and 3" rear springs.

I'm just getting more confused. I think I'll call Erik tomorrow as emailing him is not working at all... Probably settle on the TF 3" kit and call it a day. And experiment with upgrades later.

Let me know what you think of those. I'm wondering why they have the extra 2 lines still.

I think I should do the RTE 3" coils then. Should I go straight to Fox shocks or go with TF All Terrain +2? Sorry for the thread hijack
Honestly I don't think it matters what shock you put under these things. With a stock setup you could probably feel the difference with a more expensive shock but once you put taller higher rated coils on one of these things the ride goes to ****. Be prepared to feel EVERYTHING. But who cares, right? It's going to LOOK awesome.
