christmas in march

i put the 3 and 4inchers next to each other so you can see the difference. its not ALOT , but definetly noticible. Since the 3in ones are slightly shorter in length as well as height i lined up the pins where it sits on the axle. Thats where the change in lift height is.

If he doesnt want them I may be interested. Just let me know.

Jermey did you decide to go with the 3" springs b/c you were worried about looking like Matt. ? Just kidding Matt I can't wait to see that beast, I just could never have my d/d that HUGE. Or was it b/c you wanted to keep your COG down?

I have not made my order to them yet b/c I am going to put my own rear kit together b/w them and Sky Manf. Stupid rear kit went up closer to regular price, $599 now, and I think I can do better by mix matching companies. I'll prolly put a 1" RB BL in and run the 3" with 35's just to keep things civil. Or would you guys suggest 4" to be safe with rubbing?
