[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 436263, member: 18789"] They look like typical rough country springs. Rough country 2.5” and 4” springs measure basically the same height oddly enough, I never have figured out why but they do. My 2.5” and my buddy’s 4” both measured about 3” and they both came with 6° shims. The 4.5” X series lift is basically the same thing but with 1.25” shackles. They do have different part numbers for their 2.5” and 4” springs but I don’t know what the differences are since they end up sitting right at the same and come with the same shims. 4” lift is not a bad idea though there aren’t a bunch of great options on the market. I like the 2.5” old man emu stuff and when I wanted 33’s, the plan was the 1.25” body lift I installed to take care of it. I did that for a while but reverted on the 33’s idea so I removed the body lift and sold it. 1.25” did not really look bad at all to me. The benefit is you can do things like a tummy tuck and motor mount lift to add more clearance. [/QUOTE]
