Ben- you know this how??

An RTE 3inch with 2inch body lift does NOT include extended brake lines, corrected arms all the way around, new driveshafts and 4.11s diffs to go with the bigger tires he will probably also put on. And with those bigger tires need heavy duty axles.. A 'proper' 5 inch lift will run $8-$10k.. (RTE- REAL 5inch lift -$2k, GBR axles $2k, GBR 4.11s (w/ARB) $4500.)

A lot of people who have gone with 5 inch lifts (and *really* use them in places like MOAB and not Indiana) have found more trouble than they are worth.. driveability and breakage issues... and are downsizing to a 3 with a 3link up front... which will make it articulate so much more than dudes' hacked up white truck
