Debating.

I'm running close to that, and most places i go off roading i wish i had an extra inch, i had to add the body lift with my suspension because my tires came extremely close to bottoming out in the wheel wells across certain rivers. I think i will be building a 6" suspension lift next anymore then ill be too tall to go a lot of places. When you start dinking around with lifts and off roading I'm basically at the point of custom building everything, nothing either covers what i want or works how i want it to. for example skid plates work great on the front but offer 0 protect for your A-Arms and tie rod ends. Just a heads up

Thanks. My build plans are Icon stage 5, deavers, full RCI skids with 34"s on 17"s. Going to do a leveling strut (might try out the new rough country stuff), Icon UCA and rear shocks until I can afford Icon which will be a while lol.

Edit: post some pics!

I build my whole lift both of them for under $100 if you are good with an angle finder and a welder I would highly recommend it. Everyone is always so surprised how smooth mine rides, the biggest problem is all lifts and leveling kits are made to suit all trucks on average. Your truck sits and drives differently than the next truck. I build one the same as mine for a guy and his truck struts and whole suspension sat several degrees differently than mine. It's not as big a job as you would think. Lol

I'd replace what was bent, get it boxed and welded before you put new piece on. Piece of mind is worth it.
