I thought about the bigger tire or not but with 3.31 gears I don't think it would be to happy. Bigger tires would be a down the road with a regear type of thing. I can't wait to get it. I ordered it from stage 3 motorsports.

I want to get a 4" kit, but by 20x9 wheels with +15 offset won't work. Have to loo at getting some wheel spacers I guess.

Rough Country and Rancho says that wheels can't be more than 5" backspacing. Mine has more than that. Around 5.42" I believe. Shop is going to measure to make sure, but it doesn't look good.
