thanks for the advice. i will probably just let it go so as to justify a 3.4 more quickly.

as to the lift - 1" rb body, bj spacers, stock rear leaves w/extra unknown leaf, 3" longer shackle, 8" wide alum rims w/3.5" backspace, 3/4" alum spacer in the front.

basically no rubbing at all. and you can't really see where i cut, so it dosn't look all hacked up. i did take 2" out all the way around the front fender, but that was really to remove the rust, not for clearance. i'm running yokohama geolander mt+ and they seem ALOT wider than the BFGs that i had of the same size. going to the total chaos idler arm took care of the last of the rubbing problems that i had. lemme know if you have anymore ? if i had it to do over again, i would have gone w/ a 2" bl, lot less trimming and no hood cutting when the 3.4 goes in. but everything else has worked out great.

bj spacers don't give you more clearance. you get more travel which means you have to cut more....believe me, i am speaking from exp.
