I would say they are different. If they worked on both the company would advertise it that way to get more sales. IMO.

James, Several places have told me that anything less than 4" of lift will make it nearly impossible to align. I've read it places too. Just a thought to think about.
The rough country 4" susp is like 500 or so and it wasnt bad price wise

THanks for all the feedback everyone.
I have a question though.
Do you think that i should regear the 2.73 axles to a larger ratio?
I'm afraid that the small gear ratio will eat my transmission with those 33s on there

possibly. thinking about getting 1" wheel spacers. maybe that will push it out far enough to not rub. if not then my remingtons are in good shape and im sure i can find someone who would wanna buy/trade for them
