    Awesome! I can't wait for this to hit the market. It was hard to justify 2000+ for the 4" from the 2.5. This will be well worth the money for an extra 3.5" body raise + another almost 2" gain from the tires under the axle.

    Just curious... when you day "well worth the money", how much money do you think its going to cost?

    3000+ maybe. If it's much more than that I'll have to turn it down. I'm optimistic at this point.

    I just can't justify 2000-2500 bucks for 1.5" more than OME which is what it would cost for me to buy a superlift and have someone install it. If it costs a bit more to have the possibility for 3.5" (and with tires close to 6" extra) I'm game for that.

    Just so you know, their 4" setup is $3500 and that doesn't include the $2000 for the superlift...

    My guess is 3500+2000+1000= $6500 minimum (that extra 1000 is a low guess on what the extra rear components will cost)

    If you want 6" for the 3000-3500 range just do:
    4" superlift
    OME HD springs/struts in front
    JBA UCAs
    2" spacer in the rear (from RC or similar kit)
    rear shocks of your choice.

    That's essentially what JBA is doing except they use Fox coilovers up front and longer radius arms for the rear

    The front is a combo of longer forks and springs
    rear will jist be a spring. Waiting for the new ones to come in so i can get rid of the spacers

    I think the longer radius arms in the rear are actually key for that much lift... it helps keep the axle position a bit more constant as opposed to pulling the tire forward when flexing.
