RTE or bust. You can order 2” fronts and 3” rears, or 3” fronts and 4” rears. Always better to lift with spring only rather than adding spacers.
you’ll need longer shocks for the rear than OME has though. You’ll want 10” travel bilsteins or fox shocks I believe. I had fox 2.0s remote reservoirs when I did a 2” lift with 1” in the rear. It’s a good look.

I haven’t called RTE yet but I did bang around on their website. Saw this full lift kit option. Looks like It offers everything you need without having to piecemeal it all together. I’m very excited about this option! I appreciate the heads up!!
The only thing I was not happy with was the front drive shaft. It failed after about 10K miles. Simon said it was because it wasnt lubed, but I beg to differ. I lube my shafts every other oil change. I ended up getting one from Tom Woods. I've only put about 500 miles on it.

Thanks! He really talked his drive shafts up and reiterated that they be lubed BUT I’ve e already got a nearly new Tom Woods front shaft installed on Clarkson. I actually thought about it and planned on keeping it on Clarkson (04) and putting his front shaft on Chloe (03) I have a stock drive shaft on Chloe at the moment.

If you do the 4in lift, you need a longer front drive shaft. I would just buy another Tom Woods. They are aware of the steep angle on our D2's and build them with that in mind. Both of the front "HD" drive shafts that failed on me was because of the center ball was binding. My new Tom Woods has about an 1/8th of clearance.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m going with the 3” lift but keeping the TW nonetheless. His driveshaft should be an upgrade on Chloe, the bone stock Chelsea tractor.
