by the way... one other question, sorry for all the questions... when you did your three in lift kit, it came with rough country rear shocks as well? or does it utilize the stock rear shocks?

Nice! Get the 6" then :D Thats what im going to get here soon, and replacing the front end like you lol!
Yeah like bigboy said, 25x4=100 for the shocks. But if your staying street with it, the 8000's will be fine. And if youre feeling froggy, go for it and try out the 9000's.

Not sure exactly what pics you are looking for, but heres a couple. How it sits and then a few of the underneath parts. Hope it helps. The 6" will definatley be sweet, and there are plenty of pics of 6" lifts on here.

Zakk, Great pics man thanks! by the way I'm also running the Falken Wildpeak a/ts... dude I love those tires... such a good value for the product!

Also, after doing research, we don't need lift control arms, so ill be going with the Moog replacement control arms with the 6 inch kit!

Just spoke to the sales rep at rough country, and they said its $25 for all 4 not $25 each to upgrade

looks like I'm upgrading! and probably gunna get 4 boots

Hmm...that is funny, because when I went to order it, I originally upgraded and it charged me 100 extra, so I took it back off the order..

Ended up ordering from FatBob's garage as Rough Country will not ship to an APO address.

Hmmm... that's interesting that they ripped you off that way... for them to make a profit the least they could do is say $50 all upgraded shocks

That is funny, they also made my cart go up 100. Well sounds like you may be getting lucky lol! :D Yeah get the boots as well, if I remember right, they're not expensive. And you get to pick your fav color.
Glad I could help, and yeah I agree, the WildPeaks are pretty nice! I'm gonna be tire/wheel shopping in a couple months :/ lol.
Where are you getting the Moog's from? And why Moog over another brand?

Okay, I may get the Moogs then myself! If I can find em for a good price. Nahh, I think I want something more aggressive :D And wanna go bigger. I found a website, ThreadDepot, and it looks like they have pretty good pricing on tires/wheels.

Moog is Advanced auto parts "premium" brand, so I know they wouldn't have that title for no reason... and I believe they are around $90 for the upper control arm including all the bushings and the ball joint!

and Zakk, I would love to get muds like super swamper or something of the sort... but I cant afford how quickly the road tears them apart! :(

I probably won't go superswampers or mud tires, because mine is also a 2wd like yours and Im not using it for mudding. I was thinking maybe Toyos or Nittos. Wanna turn her into a decent looking road queen :D Yeah...Even the Wildpeaks wear down quicker lol... Sucks!
