Also hope you got a 3.5 lift kit with the adjustable control arms and adjustable track bars so you'll be able to get it aligned properly. Reactions: mrjp and Duster

Mostly daily driver… and even when it is on trails I won’t be doing anything too extreme.

Does the website give the compressed and expanded lengths. I know some Websites do. Reactions: mrjp and Duster
